>What is the best way to handle additions/deletions from this grid and still retain the ledger type colors?

Follow up your Addition/Deletion with:

select recno() ;
   from (this.recordsource) ;
   order by myOrder ;
   into array ;
   thisform.aOrder

And you should be good to go.


>Also, the documentation for adding new array properties says to name it something like aArray[1000,1], but how do you get the actual array size?

I don't think it matters, just add it like aArray[1] and DIMENSION it later, or let the SQL do it.
