My work-around looks a little odd Check out the DynamicBackColor and DynamicForeColor properties. You can set a property on the class or form that contains the record number (it'll be up to you to update the record number), and then have the following code in your grid.init method: this.setall('DynamicBackColor','iif(thisform.recno=recno(),rgb(0,0,128),rgb(255,255,255))','Column') this.setall('DynamicForeColor','iif(thisform.recno=recno(),rgb(255,255,255),rgb(0,0,0))','Column') /Paul
