>I have a grid in which I want every other line to be a different color. Using the example in VFP's help of using the MOD of RECNO() isn't practical. Is there a way I can do something like the MOD of the grids row numbers or does anyone else have another suggestion?

IMHO, the best way is to add one more field into Grid.Recordsource and fill it with real backcolor property values. Then you just reevaluate DynamicBackColor property using this field value.
