Hello Henry.

I have inherited this code, and this is what the other person was doing

Are you a corporate developer or an independent contractor? If the latter, I certainly hope that you doubled you rates when you saw this code < g >.

I am sorry, but I really do not have the time right now to wade through this to try to debug it for you. I have given you a suggestion for dealing with the DynamicBackColor problem. If you need assistance debugging the rest of your application, maybe someone else can jump in and give you the answers that you need.
