Hi Claude;

Try to put this on your grid

PROCEDURE INIT
ogrd=thisform.grid1
oGrd.Column1.dynamicbackcolor =;
 "IIF(thisform.myrowcol=thisform.actcol,rgb(255,255,255), rgb(196,196,196))"
ENDPROC

in grid's afterrowcolchange

procedure afterrowcolchange
LPARAMETERS nColIndex
thisform.actcol=nColIndex
endproc

in each grid/text1's when

procedure when
thisform.myrowcol=1  && or 2,3,4,5 depending what number do you want
endproc

Please let me know if it works fine ! Ok ?
