Marcia,

Thanks for the clarification....As usual I sometimes can't see the forest for the trees and make things more difficult than they really are !!

Many thanks,
Greg

>The condition Thisform.nnRecNo = ThisForm.noRecNo will never evalutate to true. In the grid's BRCC, the record pointer is on RECNO( n ). In the grid's ARCC, the record pointer has moved and is now on RECNO( n + 1 ). If you want to highlight the current row in the grid, this code in the grid's init
