>I'm still looking for the reason that only the margins are coloring in the active cell of a grid. The column has two textboxes as members with one or the other being the .CurrentControl. Regardless of which one is the current control for the column, only the margin reflects the default dark blue background. The textbox seems to stay white background, black foreground when I'd like to have the default blue background, white foreground.

Have you tried setting Sparse = .F. for the column?
