Could you use SetFocus to move to that control instead? Simulating a mouse click at a particular location is a very fragile way way of making soemthing happen.

Eric,
Do you really want to "force a mouse click", or do you in fact want to execute some code in a click event?
If the latter, why not execute the code directly? Or perhaps use BindEvent() to simulate it?
If you could explain what you are trying to achieve, we might be able to give you more guidance.
Mike

I have a grid of 17 columns. Col17 is a picture Col7 is the path to the picture file.
The grid is always wider than the data and the right most cols are always hidden.
When I horiz scroll to the picture column I see 'stuff' in each cell behind the picture.
Clicking in any cell in that column causes a refresh that 'cleans up' the stuff so that each picture is on a grey background.
Hence I would like to try and 'clean up' the picture column and present the User with the required result - picture on grey background.
if it is allowed I could give the URL to the relevant page of the on-line manual.

Eric,
Sorry if I haven't understood this properly, but there are two possible issues here.
First, you could try setting the picture column's Sparse property to .F. That might be enough to make the picture visible.
Second, the fact that you can see "stuff in each cell behind the picture" suggests that you might have two controls in the column, and the one you want is behind the other one. Check that the only control in the column in an Image control; if necessary, remove the other one.
Finally, rather than forcing a mouse click, it might be enough to set focus to the control in question.
Mike
