I would like the tab title to become bold or change color if a test is true (such as a field on the tab's layout contains data).

Any idea how to do this? I want the tab to stand out to the user if the layout relating to the tab has values other than empty...

Thanks :

There is no way to change the color or text type of a tab dynamically. I'd try something else, like a calulation that displays a message, which can be made bold and or colored, or empty if there is no data.

If you are talking about the Tab Control feature, it is possible to change the color of the tab with a calculation field. First, create your tabs but with spaces as the names. Use the number of spaces depending on how big you want the tab or you use a full justified tab if you want it to fill the entire tabbed area. Then, overlay a calculation on each tabbed area with a formula similar to the following:

Case(not IsEmpty(MYTABLE::Field1); TextColor("TabName"; RGB(200; 0; 0)); "TabName") // Makes tab text red

I stand corrected.

I stand corrected.

I'm sure you'll show me something I didn't know sometime soon :

Thanks alot... that is just the simple answer I was hoping for!
