Hi Vlad,
I think where he's trapped (and while replying me too and now you:) was using object ref. wrong. In dynamic* 'this' refers to the 'grid' itself.

>Sparse=.F., BackColor=RGB(128,128,128), DynamicCurrentControl="iif(this.parent.nRecNo=recno('alias'),'ArrowImage','Text1')", ControlSource={expression}=(''). Than add an image control into that column with image that represents a record mark (usually arrow, you can make it fancy if you want ;). In the AfterRowColChange put a code to update the nRecNo by the new record pointer.

I've tried some variations on EVAL(loGrid.Recordsource + ".RECNO()). That's not the real source, but hopefully you get the idea... besides, the real source didn't work. Why advertise my shortcomings :-?
