I am looking for the name of the event using continuous forms when you select a line in the detail section. I can see the on click event for the detail section however client wants to select the line using the gray select to the left of the record.
 
How are ya F2F4 . . .

This is called the [blue]Record Selector[/blue] and when that record is officially selected it shows a right pointing arrow
RecoedSelector.BMP
, a pencil icon when the record is being edited
Pencil.BMP
.

The direct event in question would be the forms [blue]On Click[/blue] event. However since a [blue]record selector[/blue] can be chosen for many reasons (single click), and we don't want to take control of single click needs, I suggest your client use the forms [blue]On Dbl Click[/blue] event instead. This shows more intent to take control and fits your needs.

What about the Current event ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks for both suggestions
TheAceMan1 (double click event)
PHV (current event)
I tried both suggestions and found current event has the advantage of selecting the record no matter where you click plus it even defaults to a record when the form opens. My client will get current event as record selection method.
Thanks again
