Dear Bhavbhuti
Try setting the backcolor of the grid to the same as the form, then in the Refresh of the grid, try SetAll( DynamicBackColor ) for all columns to the desired backcolor, based on something like (!empty(somefield)), like in:

*** Grid Refresh()
This.SetAll( "DynamicBackColor", 'IIF(!EMPTY(SomeAlias.SomeField, RGB(255,255,255), RGB(192,192,192))',"Column" )
