Hi!

I did not tested, by I think the problem is in the following:

When grid gets a focus, it scroll the grid automatically to display the active cell. During form starting active cell is 0,0. When you scroll grid in some panel and leave that panel active, and when grid is athe first control on the form that gets focus, the grid will be automatically scrolled back to show the first cell. Auto-scrolling also happens when grid is refreshed.

So, your code should be following:

....
.Panel = 1
.DoScroll(5)
.DoScroll(5)
.Panel = 0 && Set panel to 0 so grid will not auto-scroll !!!

This will assure that active panel is 0 (in which column 1 is visible) when form is refreshed and activated.

HTH.
