Change Field Background

[Chris C]

Is there a function I can use to change the background of a field? I have a calculation field that I want to have "mask" other fields until the user checks a box... then I want to remove the background so the user can see the fields.

Conditional formatting is a fm9 feature, so you need instead to place a mergefield just below of the field in question, containing a series of webding char "g" and let it mimic a change in the background, by putting it just below a transparent field frame.

But as such is a tiresom process to align the two things, easily taking a lot of time ... and if you develop for both windows and mac's on the same network will it give twice the layouting work.
