That did it. Great idea. Thanks Sergey!

>>I am now trying to dynamically set the status by scanning an array that contains a status and corresponding backcolor value. It returns the value correctly when I manually do it but when I compile I receive the error "Unable to find Unknown _VSTATUS" but I have the statement 'EXTERNAL ARRAY _vstatus' in the method:

>>LPARAMETERS qcvalue

>>EXTERNAL ARRAY _vstatus

>>IF TYPE('qcvalue')<>"C" .or. EMPTY(qcvalue)
>> RETURN "RGB(255,255,255)"
>>ENDIF
>>
>>lccolor = IIF(ASCAN(_vstatus,qcvalue)>0,_vstatus(ASCAN(_vstatus,qcvalue)+1),RGB(255,255,255))
>>
>>RETURN lccolor
>>

>>Any ideas why it doesn't see it? The array _vstatus is public and visible throughout the app so during runtime it will exist, don't know why the builder doesn't like it.
