>Well, I didn't simply because I wanted only to fix it, not to do it right. Of course, if I had done it myself, it would rather be adding a new column to the cursor, which would contain just the inputmask (the one specific to the current record), and would have just "report1.cInputMaskField" as the dynamicinputmask source. I just love to have no functions at all in grid's dynamic properties.

Dragan,

This got me thinking :) I have a grid, which has a Status Work Field. Depending on the value in this field, I show the row in different color using DynamicForeColor property. I have a grid method myForeColor with case statements. I also have a Lookup table with Status Value and Description. So, do you think, I can add a new field into this table, say, myColor N (?), which would held the color depending on status? Do you think, it would speed up the grid operations? Do you have an example of your idea?

Thanks in advance.
