>I use the highlighted grid form gridx.vcx, and it works fine with just one color. Now I want the color of the row to be different for the status of the row. Status = 1 red, status = 2 blue, etc. Status is just an field in de table/cursor of the recordsource.

You aren't passing an Alias to RecNo(), that may be helpful. Also, are you refreshing the grid in AfterRowColChange(). You'll need that. Try breaking it down again to 1 and build up from there to make sure you're IIF()s aren't out of wack, and you can adjust in the command window easily.
