>>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()

I've run a little test and found that any dynamic expression in the grid's columns is evaluated in the context of the grid, not the column, so...

this.column5.dynamicbackcolor="iif(this.column5.readonly and not this.column5.enabled, "+ ;
   transform(thisform.backcolor)+", 0xffffff)"
