Larry & Karen -

 

Thanks for the ideas - but what's happening is that the NULL record still
shows up in its own color even if I autosize the field.  I'd have 12 little
colored fields show up all the time on each row.  And if I make them
transparent, then the background color doesn't show up at all.

Sami:  I assume you want to change a DBEdit field?  If so, then I agree with
Larry.  But Labels will evaluate fine per row.  I do that all the time.  If
it's an editable field, anyway you can get around with putting words around
the field in a color?  Like maybe defining a form expression:
  vAsterisks = (IFGT( columnname, 0, '  ', '****'))
and make the field red?

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
