The grid is bound to the table as evidenced by the 1st and 2nd columns display the values in those table records. The third column is not bound to the table because I don't want to display the value I just want it to have a background color, nothing more. In other words the table looks like this

1) a High 1239402
2) b Medium 392012
3) c Low 39019

The grid would have a,b,c in the first column, hat, shoe and pant in the second column and the third column would show no data but the back color would be tied to the third field. The user has the ability to tie a color to a code/description combination so I want to display that color in the third column. Therefore, this can't be tied to any logic it just needs to pick up an attribute from the table record. As close as I can get using the dynamic value is have it paint the entire column the color of the last record written to. I think the problem is just syntax, but I've tried every combination in the DynamicBackColor property I can think of.
