[ela]

hi...

thanx for your support...

i have a portal, in which daily status of task will be entered.

ie. i have two fields date and task...

i want the current date should be automatically highlighted in different background color....

how can i do this..?

In the related table, create a calculated container field that displays different colours according to the oditions (the colours should be in a single-record Preferences table).

In the portal, put the calculated container in the row, with the other fields above it.
