Hmmm... cant get the "txtplaceholder" textbox to show. Sparse is false on that column. Coloring works though. Am wondering if the control source being a logical is an issue.

.grid1.column3.SetAll("DynamicCurrentControl","IIF( assetfotos.lAsset,'txtplaceholder','check1')","Column")
.grid1.setall("DynamicBackColor","IIF( assetfotos.lAsset, RGB(250,253,193), RGB(255,255,255) )","Column")
.grid1.refresh()
.refresh() 			&& for the image control

>i thought about that but didnt persue it. i guess another textbox whose VISIBLE = false.... thanks for the tip.
