Carlie,
Reading your post again maybe I misguide you. You say you tried combinations of quotes. Here is another sample that uses "old" varread() to get active cell :

this.SetAll("DynamicBackColor", ;
	"iif(recno(this.recordsource) = thisform.nCurRec or " +;
	"this.activecolumn > 0 and this.columns(this.activecolumn).controlsource "+;
	"= lower(this.recordsource+'.'+varread()), 256^2-1,256^3-1)","Column")
