Problem with ActivateCell method outside the visible range of a grid 1

[Harulem]

There is something I don't get with the ActivateCell method.
I can't use it to reach a cell that is not currently visible on the form's display.
Let's say for example that the grid displayed on the current form is ten lines long, displaying record number 1 to 10 of the grid datasource table. A call to ActivateCell(X,Y) won't work for any X outside the range [1,10]. If the grid was 5 lines long, the range would shrink to [1,5].
Is this normal, and if is, is there a way around it?
Thanks in advance.

Harulem,

I'm not sure about this, but I think you need to call the grid's SetFocus method after changing the active cell. Perhaps you can give it a try and report back.
