Jonathan: Do you have any idea why I get "User-Defined Error" trying to set a grid's SelStartCol to 0? Without this, I have trouble moving big blocks around using Clip as described by Jim Dolson. I'll ask him too; maybe his sample code was wrong. Thanks, Jack There is 1 Reply.

Jack, Is Col 1 defined as non-scrollable? If so, that is probably the problem and you should start your select with Col 2. -=- Jonathan There is 1 Reply.

"..Is Col 1 defined as non-scrollable?.." Jonathan: I'm not sure what you mean by non-scrollable. Do you mean is the Fixed Cols setting set to 1? If so, yes; should it not be? I was talking about column 0, the shaded one: this is where I'm showing the record number for a database table display, and I want to move them all up one when a record is deleted. I can't start col 0 with SelStartCol, because I get an error message. Thanks for getting back to me so fast; I hoped I've explained the question more clearly. Jack There is 1 Reply.

Jack, I understood the question but I was a little crytic in my response. If you have FixedCols set to 1 (meaning that Col 0 is "locked") than you cannot select any cels in that column. Remember that selection, while providing the idea way to load/move data in the grid, is meant to be a user action. As such, selection outside the "workspace" is not permitted. You should try to set FixedCols = 0 before making your move and then set it back when you are done. Help? -=- Jonathan There is 1 Reply.

JZ: Thanks: I hadn't known the meaning of FixedCols before! Jack
