Thanks for that

I understand that your first line

* Anywhere you want to set dynamic coloring - ie: form init
thisform.myGrid.Setall('DynamicBackColor','(thisform.GimmeColor(manifest.status))')

Can go in form init for example

Where do i put the rest of the code? I can't include that in the form init can I?

Please excuse my lack of expertise in this area

Colin

*Form custom GimmeColor
lparameters tcValue
do case
case m.tcValue = 'A'
return 0xFF0000
case m.tcValue = 'B'
return 0x00FF00
case m.tcValue = 'C'
return 0x0000FF
otherwise
return 0xFFFFFF
endcase
