The hash simply needs to be escaped as
#iif(bgFlag,DE(' style="background-color: ####DDFFDD"'),DE(''))#
The hash needs to be escaped twice since you are delaying evaluation.
The text:
style="background-color: ####DDFFDD"
Is passed out of the de function as (including the quotes):
" style=""background-color: ##DDFFDD"""
That text is then evaluated by the iif to:
style="background-color: #DDFFDD"

Yes I can set and use a variable, but I was curious why I would have to
do this. Why do I need to create five lines to set a variable and use a
few bits more memory rather then use one clear function at the point
where the decision needs to be made.
The RGB solution is a good one. But I am still curious why one can not
apparently output a hash mark in this manner.
