>>>>>>Hi everybody,

>>>>>>I implemented GridHighlighter in several applications, all work fine, but I have one problem, which I'm not sure, how to resolve. For some forms in addition to highlighting record I want to show records in different backcolor (or forecolor, doesn't matter), depending on some condition. For instance, I have Status field, which can have 3 different values. For value one I want one color, for value two - another and value three - default color. I implemented my code in onPostSetDynamicColor method as showed in Nick's sample form (mycolor.prg). But I could not figure out, how to preserve record highlighting for the current record. IOW, myColor program should be changed somehow, but I don't know, how. Could somebody advise me here?

Nick,

I just tried this code with your sample form and I got invalid DynamicBackColor message. What's wrong? I used the sample for, which comes with GH, and just copied and pasted this program and expression.
