Alastair -
Just download this morning's update and it will all be perfect! .just another example of : a) submit a bug report to RBTI with sample database; b) wait one hour; c) receive notification that it's been fixed; and d) wait 9 hours until the next release is out .. ;) Sami From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alastair Burr Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:15 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Colored object in Scrolling Region 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: <file:///D:\Temp\RB.jpg> Any thoughts on what I might have over-looked?

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 <mailto:[email protected]> 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.
