Grid header colour: you can set it only if the Grid.Themes = .F.

Data entry in grid: The first question is whether you want to be able to save the values that users may enter into the grid. If so, the Grid.RecordSource needs to be updatable. The result of a type 4 query is not updatable.

Since you also need as many columns in the .RecordSource as you have grid columns, I'd be inclined to build an updatable cursor and use that to drive the grid. Use your SCAN loop to build a command something like

CREATE CURSOR SomeCursor ( Col1 C( 10 ), Col2 C( 10 ), ... )

Or, if you can use SELECT - SQL to create a cursor with one column per customer, you could add the READWRITE clause at the end to make it updatable.
