>What does v_apptbookframe.ccolor_1 contain ? Char or numeric ? If char like "255,255,0" then try :

"iif(v_apptbookframe.REC, rgb("+v_apptbookframe.ccolor_1+"),rgb(0,0,255))"

Else try with str(v_apptbookframe.ccolor_1) instead of RGB().
>You cannot macro substitute like &v_apptbookframe.ccolor_1. If you want to evaluate that way then try :

"iif(v_apptbookframe.REC, eval('rgb('+v_apptbookframe.ccolor_1+')'),rgb(255,0,0))"

Hi Cetlin,

v_apptbookframe.ccolor_1 is char ie: 255,0,0

It did not work.

My code is:
this.column2.dynamicbackcolor = ;
"iif(.t., rgb(" + v_apptbookframe.ccolor_1 + " ),rgb(0,0,255))"

Program did not bomb but the grid did not colorize. Any other suggestions??

Thanx Neil
