>The Dynamic properties are avaluated on grid level so This in the expresion refers ro the grid not a column.


Hello Sergey

Cetin's reply is the one i ended up using. i like his approach of using a UDF (i am using that in a different grid as well). it somehow never occured to me to fill the DynamicBackColor seperatly for each column, and therefor beeing able to query each columns controlsource.

oh well, hope it's not monday <s>

Thanks for your help!
