Jerry,

You are better off using c(1) field in the cursor than creating a really long string that the grid has to keep searching. You can use one REPLACE to flush them all to '0' and use a loop to set the even rows to '1'

> Thanks. I tried doing a SCAN, but differently. After setting the index, I scanned every other RECNO into a property, separating them by commas, and told it to color the records whose comma+RECNO+comma were contained in the property. That worked fine, until I realized that scanning a large table would probably take too long. I'm going to test it later, anyhow.
