>LOL!! Thanks Cetin - I knew someone would ask that, and the simple answer is that you can't color individual cells of a grid depending on what the status of the underlying record is, so I have had to build a psuedo grid.

no need to build a pseudo grid. You can easy set the color of individual cells depending of the status, read value.
enclosed a sample form I found in my 'Foxexamples' directory, unfortunately I have missed the original author, Excuses.

Try this form please
