>I am working with a grid. I am running into a conflict between two options that I want for the display: I want the row that the user clicks on to be highlighted (HighlightBackcolor / HighlightForecolor), and I wany any columns in the display with .NULL. date values to display as blank.

>I am using a textbox-based class for all of the columns in the grid. For the columns that contain dates, I set the NullDisplay value to ' '. In order for this to work, I must set the date columns' sparse property to .F.
