mav Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The 'TextColor' function wihtin the Custom Function (CF) is working for the fields formatted as Text fields, but not the Date field. I tried using a GetAsText (field) within the CF, but that didn't help. I've attached a file showing what's going on, it looks like a simple one, but don't they always ? Thanks in advance . . .

LaRetta Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Text formatting functions are designed for text fields. If you need to colorize a date field you will need to create a calculation (text) with the date field then perform the format function on that text calculation. I've read that 8.5 allows colorizing numbers (which are field-formatted as numbers). It doesn't sound like it has changed for date fields however...

mav Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 To ino, I have tried that, as I mentioned, but I can't get it to work . . . Please feel free to edit my sample file with your method to demonstrate. To LaRetta, That's what I thought, I'll need to allow editing of a date field 'underneath' a text field that displays the formatting . . . mav.
