Thanks for that. It works at the beginning but as soon as you select a different row in the grid it doesn't. The very 1st row in the grid remains highlighted. I admit to putting some of the code in the actual form's grid, rather than in the class, because I don't want this behaviour for all my grids om all my forms.

Cheers
