Jeremy,

Use parameterized views instead of filters. There's an example over on my website if you've never done one before.

>1. filters
>??? slow slow slow ( only ~20 records on test table )
>
>2. DynamicBackColor
>not sure why, there are only 2 iif() and 1 rgb() in the string, and only 20 records in the test cursor driving the grid.

>It's the same base table that drives these two problems. The filtered grid is a modal form that will always be spawned from the form with the DynamicBackColor, if that makes any differance.
