This is my last try, Chuck, as I don't think you're very open to get help.

Try Nick's Grid Highlighter in the Classes/VCX of the Files Section.

Good luck.

>The ThisForm.SetAll("DynamicBackColor",... is fine, this is for to highlite the whole row for easier viewing. Then, if there is an error, thats where I change the logic of "changebc" (change backcolor, just a variable). If the changebc is .T., then I am forced to turn OFF the blue ROW highlite in order to SHOW the backcolor of the field(s). There is no view, cursor, whatever, this is a live grid, using TableUpdate() and TableRevert() to update the changes. The ThisForm.SetAll("DynamicBackColor",... part is working fine and great. I just need to overwrite the backcolor to highlite the required fields, thats all... The changebc is defined in main.prg as "changebc = .F." I can not use the backcolor in the properties since there are different requirements for different things, so I need to do the backcolor by coding.
