>>Hi Gang!
>>
>>I am modifying an ORDER Program for ordering inventory items. I was wanting to add highlighting to a Grid to show which rows met certain conditions.
>>
>>I wanted to highlight in RED any item (ROW) that did not receive any of an ordered item.
>>I wanted to highlight in YELLOW any item that received less than the ordered amount.
>>I wanted to highligt in WHITE any item that received the correct amount ordered.
>>And finally I wanted to highlight in BLUE any item that received more than the amount ordered.
>>
>>This is to make visually easier to see problem items in the order.
>>
>>Here is the code I used in the FORM's INIT.

>>*TMT 05/05/09 Set up a dynmaic backcolor for the grid.
>>*Red - Did not receive ANY of that item.
>>*Yellow - Received SOME of the item, but less than what was ordered.
>>*White - Received ALL of that item.
>>*Blue - Received MORE than what was ordered for the item.
>>lcForeColor = 'IIF(reorder.Quan_ship = 0, RGB(255,255,255), ;

>>The table is named REORDER and the fields are QUAN_SHIP (quantity shipped to me), QUAN_ONORD (Quantity ordered from the supplier).

>>I do get lots of records in the order, but the grid stays WHITE, even when I get back items in the order that are 0 for Quan_ship, and some are LESS than the Quantity Ordered.

>Dynamic* need valid expressions. When the expression is not valid an error is not displayed but silently the colring is not applied as well. You are missing closing parentheses in both expressions.

Thanks! I found that out when I moved the code into some methods and then called them ( when I moved them, the syntax checking alerted me then....).

I am now trying to get the highlight to work for only 2 of the columns, instead of all of them.... Naomi is giving me some hints at the moment... do you have any?
