>>>i have a simple grid on a VFP 8 form. i want the text in one column to appear in blue if the person is a male and red if a female. i am having a devil of a time trying to get it to work. first of all there is no error message, the text simply appears as before. secondly i am using the gridhighlighter object to highlight the row of the grid; could that be causing the dynamicforecolor event to not fire correctly?
