Thanks, Chuck. It works in the GotFocus, but in the INIT it sets the value to whatever is 'TRUE' in the IIF() statement when the grid is initialized. Almost always the last statement I found :-(( Too bad - I'd like to set it like the Dynamic.... properties.

Interestingly, I had to set the COLUMN forecolor but the TEXTBOX SelectedForeColor in the textbox GotFocus()

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
