>Erik... thanks but I want to change the row colour based on the value in column 1 not every second line.

Erik, simply change the function "MOD(Recno(),2)=0" to anything you want. Try with some simple item like "This.column1.text1.value = 4", then upgrade it. You can even use a UDF here, where the UDF contains a case statement about the values. I've used this to track values above or below certain limits.
