When in vertex mode, I marquee a selection to select a group of vertexes. However, some vertexes in the back are also selected. Is there a way where I can just select the vertexes in the front?

Thanks.

Display >> click the option box for Custom Polygon Display>> then turn on Backface culling.

Yes, I turn backface culling on in the Display->Polygons->Backface Culling on. But it still selects the vertexes behind the front vertices. I even turn on the backface culling in the viewport Shading. It doesn't work for me.

Somehow, the vertexes behind where I marquee the selection always unwanted get selected also.

Use the paint selection tool with a low radius.

It works now.

Pyromania - After turning on Backface culling, I have to restart Maya for it to take effect. Thanks.

Sheep Factory - Your method of using Paint Selection Tool with low radius also works. Thanks.
