Many thanks to you both Sami & Karen and apologies for mixing you up earlier.
As my brain was clearly fuddled a good few hours ago and it's now nearly eleven at night here I'll take a, hopefully, more clear-headed look at this one tomorrow. It would be really nice to make this work because I can get rid of two controls in the rows of the s/r when it does - so thanks again to you both and I'll holler if I get stuck.

Then do a form variable to lookup the image based on the value in your incomplete category and locate the variable image on the scrolling region. If you'd like me to send you a screen shot of my final form, I'd be happy to do privately - just let me know.

I have a form where I try to highlight rows where some item in the row has incomplete data but I have never been able to get it to really look right. My method works but it's not as effective as I'd like. I already use a variable label but my quick attempt to use an On Row Entry EEP just now to change the colour didn't work so I guess that I'm just going about it the wrong way. Thanks & regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 3:09 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Colored object in Scrolling Region 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? 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 No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG - http://www.avg.com Version: 8.0.138 / Virus Database: 270.4.11/1553 - Release Date: 15/07/2008 05:48No virus found in this incoming message.
