Much like the common technique of highlighting the current record in the grid, you can extend that to say iif inlist(recno(),listproperty)... highlight the record. You can even take that a step further by checking for the ctrl or shift keys and code it to emulate a list. HTH

>Hello Nick I want to employ the array method, but I am stuck with a small, but relavent question. The code that I am looking at sets the dynamicback color property of the column in the init of the grid. If I add an array property to the grid. I will be forced to use a statement like:

My guess is that when the 'DynamicBackColor' is set it evaluates it then and there, so the THIS.PARENT reference would not work.

Hi Bret,

I will try to come up with the solution over the weekend.
