Hi Alan.

>> When using a grid on a form, you can set the active colour of the cell, but as you move of the grid the colour change back to the inactive cell colour, is there any way of keeping the active colour on the last cell activated when not on the grid. <<

Add a property to your grid class called nRecNo and initialize it to 0.

This code in the grid's init:

*** Set up for highlighting current row
This.nRecNo = RECNO( This.RecordSource )
This.SetAll( 'DynamicForeColor', ;
	'IIF( RECNO( This.RecordSource ) = This.nRecNo, RGB( 0, 0, 128 ), RGB( 0, 0, 0 ) )', 'COLUMN' )
This.SetAll( 'DynamicBackColor', ;
	'IIF( RECNO( This.RecordSource ) = This.nRecNo, RGB( 0,255,255 ), RGB( 255, 255, 255 ) )', 'COLUMN' )

This in the grid's AfterRowColChange:

Thisform.LochScreen = .T.
WITH THIS
  .nRecoNo = RECNO( This.RecordSource )
  .Refresh()
ENDWITH
Thisform.LockScreen = .F.
