Well, you can compare the mouse location to the location in your field, using the "left" of the field and adding in the tab stop values to get a feel for which column the user clicked in. However you can't cause Rev to just highlight the "cell" in the table field - to do this, you'd have to create your own "highlight" and move it to the proper place when you get the mouseDown in the field. However you'd also have to turn *off* the traversalOn of the field because otherwise you'll get the hilite of the whole row *first* as Rev gets the mouseDown, and then when *you* get it, you would "shunt" it so it only showed a single cell with your custom highlight (which looks odd to the user). Hope this points you in the right direction, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
