>Yes - everything is names right, otherwise, when grid1 initializes, or does what it ought in AfterRowColChange, it would give errors ALL the time. It is just when that method is called from the grid2 that error=12. I have had trouble referencing DynamicForeColor always, so perhaps that's the '12' it can't find...

Can you Copy + Paste here the complete code of the Grid2 method in which you're trying to change colors in Grid1, that raises the error?
