How about:

do the diabling and then do a,

ThisForm.Grid1.SetAll("DynamicBackColor", "RGB(255,0,0)", "Column")
ThisForm.Grid1.SetAll("backColor", RGB(255,0,0), "Textbox")

you could replace the rgb(255,0,0) with the actual disabledBackColor that is being used.

>Yes, but now I am considering simply setting all columns in a grid, or the TextBoxes, to .Enabled = .F. (forgetting, for now, about saving information, as to which columns already were disabled). However, all I can manage to do is disable the selected TextBox - if it's at all selectable. Any ideas? Even .ForeColor and .BackColor only seem to apply to the currently selected control.
