Hi!

1. Unfortunately, there is neither transparent option for grid, nor background image for it available. You can simulate background image or make your own grid with background image (2 solutions). First solution requires a lot of effort, and such grid would work slowly. You will also require to have an approach to correctly track the row in grid that is currently the topmost - to know how to draw images correctly. Then create container for each grid column with a control in it. Put in container your image and control. In run-time, in the procedure called for each grid row by evaluating any Dynamic* expression of some column, shift image properly to the current row that VFP draws, as well as refresh the content of the control for displaying value. Uuuuugly. Second approach - use some grid ActiveX controls (there are few around that allow background in it, I saw somewhere at least one).
There is also a third approach, but it is complex and might be troublesome when you do not know HTML and JavaScript. You can put on form WEB Browser control and have your grid displayed as HTML page. However, all interaction with grid for data entering and many other things you then should program in Java Script or in VFP code working with DOM objects and their events.

2. I'm not sure what you're asking about in second question. Did you meant "How to display different image for each grid row dependent on some criteria or dependent on the filepath stored in the table for that row?"
