I have a few questions re: FM 7.

Can text font color be changed via calculation fields?

Can fill patterns be affected via calculation fields?

Is there any provision in FM 7 for developing bar charts, or gant charts?

Thanks for any input,

Hi Jarvis. I created a date calculation field that changes the color depending on the current date. I was curious about the color control also. Check the field definition for the due_date_calc field. HTH.

Font properties--not just color but font name, style, size, etc--can be changed via Script or calculation. There is an entire suite of Text processing commnads now.

I don't believe fill patterns (at least in Layout mode) can be so manipulated.

There are or will be various techniques including plug-ins for charts.
