Ashley,
Dynamicback or forecolor also work with value level but setting the correct expression is sometimes tricky. Try the following example that changes backcolor in a buffered table based on value change (edited fields and newly appended recs have red backcolor).

*Grid.init
for ix = 1 to this.columncount
    with this.columns(ix)
      cField = substr(.controlsource,rat(".",.controlsource)+1)
      .DynamicBackColor = "iif(oldval(["+cField+"])#"+cField+" or recno()<0,"+;
			str(rgb(255,0,0))+","+str(this.backcolor)+")"
    endwith
endfor
