So I cant rely on THISFORM.Grid1 I need it to be flexible enough to know where it is and thus set up the dynamicbackcolor correctly. So lets say the user placed the grid class on a page frame. It needs to set up automatically knowing where it is in relation to the thisform. I am working on that now, but if you can come up with some code off the top of your head, then please send it along. Thanks for your help here.

Nick it did not like the cFullGridHierarchy statement as I dont think the form is fully init'd at that point. But if I changed the above code to:

lcFullGridHierarchy = ALLTRIM(SYS(1272, THIS))
lcFullGridHierarchy = 'THISFORM'+SUBSTR(lcFullGridHierarchy,AT('.',lcFullGridHierarchy),LEN(lcFullGridHierarchy))

Thus replacing the form name in the cFullGridHierarchy to THISFORM, then the DynamicBackColor statement took OK.

Thanks for your help, I am on my way to a multi-select grid that uses an array versus changing the underlining table to track selections.
