Nancy,

I don't have paint() in the code (I put it temporary, then commented out, then deleted at all). I'll retest this code tomorrow trying to comment out piece by piece. I can not debug it, because as I said, Grid.MyForeColor method fires automatically in an endless loop. I may try to prevent it from firing, but it may be not a clean test, since I have to have it anyway.

I agree, that I have to determine the cause and correct solution. I guess, I just was tired, that this "thing" polluted my form and when finally I got it disappeared, I stopped my testings. In addition, I had lots of other applications to work on.

Anyway, I'm going to check it tomorrow again closely.

Thanks again.

You post a lot indicating that you've had a problem then written some code that somehow seems to fix the problem but you're not sure what the problem was, and you're not sure what code fixed it. I'm not sure you get what I meant by "mysteriously fixed code tends to just as mysteriously reoccur." Then you'll be inclined to post this solution to someone with a similar sounding problem but it may or may not be appropriate.
