<< Everything I've tried so far changes the color of the object to be the same on every row, based on the value in the currently selected row. >>
Sami -- I believe you're out of luck. In scrolling regions, and even in the underlying Windows construct, an item repeated in each band will have the same properties. If the object in question is text, can you fake it out by having two different objects calculated in the variables list, with the (say) red one evaluating to NULL when it should display black and the black one evaluating to NULL when it should display red? -- Larry
