   Cher Robert,   
      
   merci pour ta reponse,   
      
   -if you put the code in a field you will have small gaps between fields   
   on the same row.   
   -with open method works well (apart the small gaps)   
   -with newvalue does not work at all   
      
   I thought this code in the open method [ #record5 instead of self]:   
   if rn.mod(2) = 0 then   
      #record5.color=gray   
      else   
      #record5self.color = white   
   endIf   
      
   but does not work

   i dont know if pdx7 help give you the translation of a color into   
   longint but while programming it's much faster to use basic color string   
   unless you  manage to remember the code for gray (12632256), yellow   
   (65535), red (255). I suppose the chances corel programmers will change   
   the gray code are <1/10000000...
