Conditional format check box row color

[rlake]

In Filemaker 9 is there a way to Conditional format check box row color or at least text color? I want to "check" a few check boxes and have only those rows be highlighted (Red). I want to also "check" other particular check boxes and have only those rows be highlighted in a different color (Green).

Conditional formating will affect the whole of a part (text or field). I think one way to achieve what you want (list of options with different colors applied to different values in the list) would probably be done best with a portal and each portal row simulates a single line of the check box options. Then conditional formating could be applied to the line of text to match your preferences. Being aware that you can have you can have multiple conditions for formating but these conditions apply to all text or field as a whole. Being a portal, the lines could still look like a check field with different colors.

Good luck.

yes, there is.

You'll need to have multiple value lists attached to the same field.
