This is a follow up to an earlier question. I am copying cells from a datagridview row to another datagridview row (that works). I want to change the value of a cell in the current row to &quot;No&quot; (that works). Now what I want to do is change the background of that cell or the text color. 
 
Dim dr As DataRow = Me._CAD_050107DataSet.Tables(&quot;assignedvehicles&quot;).NewRow 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 'Put values into row 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; dr(1) = EventNumber.Text 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; dr(2) = Datagridview1.CurrentRow.Cells(1).Value.ToString
