We're getting closer, I think. I made a form property gridcurrec, which I hope might have wide scope. My expression in .DynamicBackColor is recno()=THISFORM.gridcurrec. Somewhere, I need to put THISFORM.gridcurrec = recno('gridalias'). Grids don't have a .lostfocus event, and I think the controls inside the grid will think all RECNO()s in the grid are RECNO(), if you know what I mean.
