Hi Jaime

>I don't know if this is going to work with This.CurrentControl.Value, you said you wanted for rows containing **records**, so you should base this on the existence of a record in your table. Just use a field which is always filled, like the id, otherwise, i would try playing with recno()

Thanks for your last suggestion, it did work for me, but to follow up on the same (similar) issue.

How can I change the column backcolor to the backcolor of the form only for columns that are readonly=.t. and enabled=.f.

I tried to put in this.... in your suggestion but that does not work.

Please advise.
