Any thoughts please

Answer 1

Private Sub DataGridView1_SelectionChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.SelectionChanged
    Me.DataGridView1.ClearSelection()
End Sub

That's it. But if you still want to get clicked row/cell index or to access values:

Private Sub DataGridView1_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.MouseDown
    Dim _ht As DataGridView.HitTestInfo = Me.DataGridView1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)
    If _ht.Type = DataGridViewHitTestType.Cell Then
        Me.DataGridView1.Rows(_ht.RowIndex).Cells(_ht.ColumnIndex).Value = _
        "RowIndex = " & _ht.RowIndex & ", " & "ColumnIndex = " & _ht.ColumnIndex
    End If
End Sub
