DataGrid Highlight Problems

[Hack]

I've never worked with the DataGrid, but this is how I do it with the MSFlexGrid. Perhaps the code can be translated to fit your needs (at worst, your thread will get bumped up. Hopefully, someone will have a solution for the DataGrid.)

With MSFlexGrid1 
   .Row = 2 ' any row 
   .Col = 0 
   .ColSel = .Cols - 1 
End With 
End Sub
