Hi,

I also have problem with custom drawing. I can not use method
suggested by Ingo, because I do not show in grid column which value I
use as a base for drawing bitmap.

IB_Query.FieldByName does not work. Is there another way to obtain a
current value of particular field of dataset attached to grid?
