grid's DYNAMICFORECOLOR/DYNAMICBACKCOLOR for newbies

[torturedmind]

here is a simple code for changing DynamicForeColor or DynamicBackColor of a grid with unknown number of columns.
local curcol

with this
.recordsourcetype = 1
.recordsource = "dbsched"
for i = 1 to .columncount
curcol = "column" + alltrim(str(i))
.&curcol..dynamicforecolor = ;
"iif(not dbsched.dbactive, rgb(128,128,128), rgb(0,0,0))"
endfor
endwith

hope this helped the newbies...
