>>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.

Hi Fabio,
Thanks for responding to my posting. I finally figured that out too. But, I also need to make BorderStyle=0. Problem solved.
