>>Hopefully this is a quick one for you experts out there. I have a grid that has several fields that have their color set in a complex way that I don't understand, but it works. I have a need to override the colors of certain columns based on an overdue date. I have code that works BUT it always sets makes the color either red or white and I need it to make it red if a condition is met and NOT change it from what it is if the condition is not met.

this.column4.DynamicBackColor = 'iif(duedate < DATE(),RGB(255,50,50),EVALUATE([this.column4.DynamicBackColor]))'

look for recursive eval
