Did you read the entry that I posted in my previous reply about how to retrieve Cell Colors? It has a function that can provide you with how to access the cell colors. If the colors have been set by the use of "Color or Mark by Column" then the only way I know to get the colors, is to create a rowstate column, copy the current rowstates to the new column, and then use the Color Of( Row State( row#)) to retrieve the color value.
