I have no idea, Jess. I just copy/pasted from VFP7 docs to here and I have not used the GridHighLighter class (one of only few I think).

At least, with this release, VFP does offer many things for the average business developer. VFP6 was aimed at other people, based on what we got versus what we asked for back then.

I expect my box to arrive sometime next week and am anxious to start playing with it.

Cheers
