Still Having Data Grid Row Coloring Problems

[Len Morgan]

I copied your code from the example exactly and IF I use "change the 
foregroundColor..." it does just that: Highlites the selected line in 
blue with white letters.  When I select a new row, the background of all 
the other rows is white with red text.  If I change foregroundColor to 
backgroundColor, as soon as the selection moves off of a line, the whole 
line becomes invisible (but the data is still there since if I go back 
to that line with the hilite, the data again becomes visible).  I am 
changing only one word (actually just part of a word: fore to back).  
I'm obviously not using the right property or something but I'm at a 
loss as to what else I could use.

I can still send you the script if you want but as I said, I started 
with your lesson script and just changed one word.
