>I am having a grid on a form that is transparent so we can see the image behind it. We only see the headers, the grid lines and the data. Well... this is what I try to do. Actually my problem is that the cells become transparent only when I point the mouse in it.

Eric, Neat problem.

Hmmmm, I've got it to show the background only after I click in the field and then leave, it's not persistant though, as moving from row to row after moving column to column will put back the white background.

But the grid.column.sparse = .f. helped alot.

It might be your final ingredient.
