Larry,

Sorry about not responding right away. I have been working against a short deadline the past week or so.

The November 98 issue of FoxPro Advisor has an explanation in Ask Advisor of highlighting grid rows.

I have a grid that is done a little differently. It works and its pretty fast. You are welcome to the code if your post your e-mail address

regards,

JME
