Cetin,

Thanks, I do have it working satisfactorily now. It wasn't a simple matter, because it actually involved three grids, on two different tabs of a pageframe, and they were interdependent. I needed to be able to refresh their data sources and reset the highlight, even when I wasn't actually in one of the grids or on the tab page. So I was running into various problems. But I got it all worked out!

>>I am trying to get this to work. The syntax works in another form, but on this one I keep getting the message "Expression is invalid. Use a valid expression for DYNAMICBACKCOLOR property." The strange this is that if I step through it, I don't get the message, only when it just runs. This code is in the AfterRowColChange event. vSbvPromoDestinations is a view, if that makes a difference. I am trying this because I have a few grids on the form, on one tab I have two grids, the lower being dependent on the upper. When swithcing between them, when I move the record pointer on the upper grid, the view controlling the other grid is requeried and the grid refreshed, but the record marker doesn't move. So I thought I'd get rid of it and use this.
