Hi Edward,

I tried using the alias with the field name but that still didn't make it work.
At first I put the setall statement in the form's init, then in the method that fills my cursor with my query(after the cursor is filled), but neither worked. There seems to be no way of having the iif(mycursor.myfield='data',.t.,.f.)validate each record in my cursor, and I can't use a scan/endscan since I'm using a setall command.
I'll leave a clip of my line for you look at:
with this.grdExample
.setall('dynamicfontitalic',"IIF(myCursor.myField='somedata',.t.,.f.)","column")
endwith
If you spot what I might have done wrong, please let me know.
Thanks
Allen
