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.

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? Karen 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
