No matter what I try I can't get column 8 to change color based on the variable (which is either true or false). I'm not looking for a setall value, this needs to turn red if the value of the variable for that column is true and black if false. I searched here and found a reference to MS help, I searched there and found nothing that would help...Anyone have any ideas...I'm open! Thanks...

I created another grid to reproduce the problem and this one works fine. I have no idea what was in the other grid that stopped it from working. Thanks for your help!
