It should work. At least, it works on my machine. Did you call Grid.Refresh after SetAll ? Or, (some stupid assumption) is Italic available for the font you use in this grid?

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.

>>It works the same way for table and cursor. You should use proper alias (mycursor.myfield) in setall expression.
