Hi,

I had a look thru the topics to see if this had been covered and didn't find anything.

I want to either create a PDF or print a report and have a certain field which would normally be in black text (eg SalesTaxPaid) turn [color:red]RED if it equals $0.00 and I was wondering if this was possible. I have tried to work it out and havent succeeded, possibly due to poor brain power.

FMP 8.5 does not support conditional formatting, it was introcuded in FMP 9.0.

However you could make a calc field that does the work:

Case( 



SalesTaxPaid <= 0 ; TextColor( SalesTaxPaid ; RGB( 255 ; 0 ; 0 ) ) ; 



SalesTaxPaid 



)

Hi Vaughan,

Thanks heaps for replying. I tried it and the zero GST went red but the others disappeared. Can you please tell me the calculation for

if GST = 0 then red, otherwise black

cheers mate

I worked it out, I was missing a bracket - just wondering, did u intend yours to be a CASE or an IF

You can use Case or IF in this "case"... ;p

I tend to use case almost all time over If just because it is easier to add more conditions later if need be.
