Robert,

No a grid does not have a mvoer proeprty and it gets its rows from a record source. The order of the records in the record source controls the order of the rows in the grid. If you want to change the order of the rows in the grid you need to change the order of the records in the recordsource.

It would be fairly complex to try and do this using the mover style buttons as the grid only really has one row at any point in time, the others are ghosts. You could use drag and drop of the grid but it would take a bunch of calculations of the position of the nouse at the start of the drag and then at the drop event and figuring out how many rows that constitutes and then replacing a sequencing field with the proper value to reposition the record in the index so it shows up in teh right position in the grid. Basically not something I want to do without charging some client a whole passel of money.

Perhpas you could step back from the implementation question and tell us about the design issue. What is the interface for, what is the data and why does it need to change positions? We might have an much easier approach for you to accomplish the goal.
