Hi Dejan,

The simplest way would be to create a table with three fields: Status C(1) Descript C(25) MyColor I. Set relation to your second table by

select DescriptTable
set order to Status
select MainTable
set relation to Job_Status_2 into DescripTable

I added a third field myColor. Based on this color you can display different status in different colors in your grid. Let me know, if you want me to expand the explanation on this idea. I found, that this idea works much faster than complicated iif statement...
