>I have a grid on a form and have maped the click on the header to select the index key that will sort the clicked row. It works and refreshes properly, but I am having difficulty indicating that the specific row clicked is the sorted record order. Right now I am using bold and normal for the colum headder font. Does anyone have an idea how to make a special character appear in the grid colum headder after the normal headder label text.

There's really no way you can have a special character in the header, because the special characters belong to a different font, with a different script, and you can't have two fonts in the same header.caption. So, the .picture is the way.
