fleecy Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I'm trying to get FileMaker to display calculated values in the color I picked through FileMaker's TextColor function when I display those in fields on layouts I created. For some unclear reason, the calculated values appear in black only, and only show color when I click on them. Is there a known workaround to this? I couldn't find information on this anywhere. Any hints will be much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Queue- Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 TextColor only works on text fields. Are your fields numbers or otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleecy Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 I'm trying to reproduce Excel's feature that can change a number's color according to a calculation result. I simply need to mark negative results in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphL Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 There is a checkbox to set negative numbers red in the number format dialog box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonShadow Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Queue said ... TextColor only works on text fields. Actually JT, TextColor will work on number fields. It breaks if the number is then formatted at the field level (instead of leaving it as general format). Dates fields however will never colorize ...
