I would totally rethink how you are doing this. I would not use a command button in a grid column. In fact, I would not even have that column with a memo field. I would place a command button on the form. In the Grid's AfterRowColChange method, I would put:

local llHasData
llHasData = !empty(mytable.mymemo)
with ThisForm.cmdMemoField
   .FontBold = llHasData
   .ForeColor = iif(llHasData, rgb(255,0,0), rgb(0,0,0))
endwith
