There are two grid controls in 7.7. I hope that you are using the grid with the JS logo. That is more versatile than the Active-X grid as the JS grid can work on browsers other than ie. In the JS Grid you can use JS commands to manipulate the display.

The following statement to change the color of the cell:
CellSetBackColor(col, row, color)
Form1.Grid1.CellSetBackColor(1,1,”rgb(0,0,255)”);

You can check the value of a cell by using this statement:
CellGetText(col, row)

Once you have the value, you can issue the commands to set the color of the cells.
