Hi James,

You'll need to base the condition on the underlying fields. Create a switch method on your form and add the following code (substituting the actual field names of course):

lRetVal = ! empty(<i>myfield1</i>) and empty(<i>myfield2</i>)
Return lRetVal

You can put the SetAll method calls for the grid in the Init event of the form:

WITH THISFORM.GRID1
   .SETALL("DYNAMICforeCOLOR","IIF(<b>ThisForm.switch()</b>,RGB(255,255,255),RGB(0,0,0))","column")
   .SETALL("DYNAMICbackCOLOR","IIF(<b>ThisForm.switch()</b>,RGB(255,0,0),RGB(255,255,255))","column")
ENDW

Hope this helps!
