Well I'm not that much closer to being a designer than Ray but, yes I believe you can do that.
(Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong) Normally you can toss a query into the grid with one line of code...for conditional formatting you'd have to loop over the query and use an addItem method that inserts the row on each loop, complete with your formatting. There could very well be a more efficient way...but I'm no guru yet.

The datagrid is _very_ nice - worth the code of the DRK itself I think (yes, I work for the company that makes it, so I'm biased). > based on the field's value?

DRIA = Developing Rich Internet Applications. I _cannot_ recommend this class enough. It's the perfect class for those of us who want to use Flash for _real_ purposes instead of stupid (but pretty) intros. It's a very "geeky" type introduction to Flash and it focuses on just the kinds of things we would really use in a flash app. (No tweening anywhere. ;) ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
