I have a portal which shows events. I would like events scheduled for the future to be displayed in a different color, or perhaps underlined or in italics. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Jason

You can do all of this through calculations.

The Highlight would be based upon a container calculation in related file.

Case(Date>Status(CurrentDate), GetRepetition(globalContainer,1), GetRepetition(globalContainer,2)) - could even be only one choice.

The Italics or bold or underline would be done by some "articifical" fields, calculated.

c_returnBold = Case(Date>Status(CurrentDate), FieldValue, "")

c_returnStandard = Case(Date<=Status(CurrentDate), FieldValue, "")

Place both fields one over the other, set the field to be transparent. Format the c_returnBold to be bold, the standard standard, the underlined underlined,....

Et voil

Thanks Ugo,

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong here. Your suggestion makes sense conceptually.

The calculations are most easily performed in the related file, as Ugo suggested. Also, you must display only related fields in a portal, unless you want to see only information from the current file.

See attachment for fix.

Is someone bored? Perhaps they have have no projects on which to work?

I was just waiting for my secretary to bring the project I had left on my desk at the office...

But HE forgot the coffee....for this busy night....

That works just great (all of them). Thanks so much.
