Hey Steve - it would be great if you could convince your client that "instant updating" whenever the underlying data store changes is the best way to go. I would personally be offended if I had to click a table row in order to get the "data to load."

I understand how it goes sometimes with clients who are sure they want their Mac software to behave badly, though :) Glad the response was helpful.

Thanks for the reply. I am probably going to go with your first suggestion.
I would imagine that there are cases where you would want to know when a control became focused on, tables or otherwise. In this particular case two tables share the same set of detail fields. I need to load data in the fields whenever a row is selected, and in the case of a table that already has a "pre-selected" (greyed) row I need to reload that data without the table having to be clicked twice. I know it's not the most common behavior, nor recommended, but I'm porting a windows app and the client wants the same GUI behavior. Small price to pay for getting someone to switch I figure!
Thanks again, I appreciate it.
