>Try to add to Grid.Refresh method:

>oGrd.Column1.DynamicForecolor=[IIF(Unit_price - Unit_cost > 5, 16777215, 0)]

i figured out that oGrd.Column1.DynamicForecolor = ""IIF(Unit_price - Unit_cost > 5, RGB(255,255,255), RGB(0,0,0))"
and i just add these commands for every individual column in the grid.
This allows me to control the colour of an individual grid element.

thanks for the help.
