Sami,
Clear-headed - I think - and I've got this working almost perfectly!
What I haven't been able to figure out is why as I move through the rows of the
s/r the wrong image is shown until the row is exited and how to update the
final row correctly.
The first row displays a wrong image on starting the form but corrects it on
leaving the row.
Each row then seems to display a wrong image on moving from row to row but
corrects it on leaving the row.
The last row always seems to display the wrong image except when moving to any
row above.
It _seems_ as if the image that is current in one row is carried into the next
row until that row is left when the correct image appears and that image goes
to the next row until that is left etc.
There is, of course, an easy solution: have an unused/unwanted row at the end
of the s/r.
If this image gets through then I can tell you that rows 1-5 & 7 are correct
but the active row 6 is wrong although the data is the same as row 3:
Any thoughts on what I might have over-looked?
Thanks & regards,
Alastair.

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.
Regards,
Alastair.

So, Alastair -
Create a table with a field to indicate a code for each type of incomplete
data and another VARCHAR field to hold some image. 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.
Best regards,
Sami

Sami,
Would you mind explaining briefly, please, how you do that?
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.

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
