Albert,
I do it with the 'DynamicBackColor' property:

a) Add a property to the form called 'nRecno'

b) In the Grid AfterRowColumnChange store the active record number to thisform.nRecno, then refresh the grid

c) In the Grid INIT() set the DynamicBackColor:

thisform.Grid1.SetAll("DynamicBackColor",    "IIF(recno()<>thisform.inrecno, RGB(255,255,255) , RGB(0,255,0))", "Column")

Setting the color this way lets it 'stay' when you change focus out of the grid.

Then, I search the cursor for the closest match and what I want to do is to highlight the grid row with that match so that if there is 300 records returned, the best available match is highlighted.
