Fred,

As an alternative, there's a funtion in FoxTools that does just that:
RGBComp( nRGBColor, @nRedVal, @nGreenVal, @nBlueVal )
nRGBColor

Specifies a composite RGB color value ranging from 0 to 16777215.

@nRedVal

Specifies a reference to a variable in which the function returns the intensity of the red color component of nRGBColor.

@nGreenVal

Specifies a reference to a variable in which the function returns the intensity of the green color component of nRGBColor.

@nBlueVal

Specifies a reference to a variable in which the function returns the intensity of the blue color component of nRGBColor.
