Personally I add a property (say nrec) to my grid class and stored in its afterRocolChange method this.nrec = recno(this.recordsource)
then set in its init method
this.setall("DynamicBackColor", "IIf(recno() = nrec,HighlightColour,NormalColour)),"column")
doing that u should only set the focus and then refresh each of your grid to have their current record highlighted.

>When I put code in the AfterRowColChange() of the middle grid, the cursor always goes back up to the top of the grid, and the code always returns values pertaining to the record at the top. i.e. if I click on a record in the middle of the grid, AfterRowColChange() treats it as that at the top. In other words it's as if its reponding to a BEFORERowColChange() and not the cureently selected row. I'm up the wall with this - can anyone see the problem?

>This (including the filter code to fill the combo) worked fine before the DynamicBackColor stuff was added. This parent's grid has similar code for setting the LSELECTED flag on the table and, of course, invokes the same thisform.refresh() (hence the 2 cases in that code) and works fine. But it doesn't do any of the combo-filling filtering
