Ok, I finally figured that out, but I never used them that way. I'm getting an error that I'm not using a valid DynamicBackColor when the grid refreshes.

This is my line:

	.grdAppointmenttypeset.Column10.DynamicBackColor = [IIF(.T., THISFORM.oColorBox.BackColor, 0)]

oColorBox.BackColor is a numeric value that seems to have converted itself from an RGB.
