Hi Paul

#1 check UT help for the use of the pre tag, that will make your message more readable.
#2your code is

thisform.bASGRID1.Column7.DynamicForeColor=[IIF(tPoDetail.solastwk=0,IIF(MOD(tPoDetail.nrowid,2)=0,RGB(228,228,288),RGB(255,255,255)),RGB(0,0,255))]

I recomend ICASE instead IIF this reduses the number of brackets

THISFORM.bASGRID1.Column7.DYNAMICFORECOLOR=;
 [ICASE(tPoDetail.solastwk#0,RGB(0,0,255),]+;
 [MOD(tPoDetail.nrowid,2)=0,RGB(228,228,288),]+;
 [RGB(255,255,255))]

so now instantiate your form suspend and run the expression (mine or yours) in command window

?ICASE(tPoDetail.solastwk#0,RGB(0,0,255),[MOD(tPoDetail.nrowid,2)=0,RGB(228,228,228),RGB(255,255,255))

Does this run without error? is the result as expected?

#3

RGB(228,228,288)

is invalid

#4 to speed up the expression, use the interger representation of your color

THISFORM.bASGRID1.Column7.DYNAMICFORECOLOR=;
 [ICASE(tPoDetail.solastwk#0,16711680,]+;
 [MOD(tPoDetail.nrowid,2)=0,15000804,]+;
 [16777215)]
