That is my guess. But on another note; Watch out for
Grids, they are still rather flaky! Do not spend too much
time on them. When you start burning up time look for
online help or examples. Drew Speedie has some example
posted that help.

I used the row color example. I still do not know why it
works like it does & it still not work 100% and with all
objects. Bottom line is proceed with caution with Grids.

In my opinion that will be a VFP 4.0 solution.
