    APP Source Edits are not the easiest, but you can read the APP Javascript FOM to understand what objects and methods are available to you. For tables the general method used is that a new object is made to hold the properties for the table/row/cell (fTable, fTableRow, fTableCell), the properties are applied to that object, then a new table/row/cell is inserted with that object (tableStart, tableRowStart, tableCellStart). So you can jump in the middle of that code and add your own backgroundColor as required. BTW, there are also defaults on fTable for defaultCell and defaultRow.

    Thanks Gareth that was really an useful piece of information. I am able to bring the bgcolour as expected.

    Is there a way to remove/hide columns in my table. If i try to used block.columns.supress or other options it doesnt help me.

    pls advice.

    I'm not sure if blocks can have suppressed columns or not, but that is the correct command for tables. You would have to set up deleted columns before the table begins, and I believe the table must be pre-scanning (not <?tbprescan=0>).
