I have a portal and each row is highlighted with different colours depending on a script that is triggered by various coloured buttons. This works well by having transparent text fields laid behind the data fields on the portal. However, when you enter data, all the fields in the portal turn white, or whatever colour I format the body of the layout. Is there a way of fields not going back this far in an arrangement stack so that they can retain the colour of the text file behind them during data entry?

Thanks

Format the field in Layout Mode [color:blue]Field/Control >> [color:blue]Behavior to not allow field entry.

Hi Lee,

Thanks very much for that - works well on the fields that I don't want to edit and looks better already. However, I still get the same problem on fields I want to edit (of which there are a lot in each portal row). Is there any way of setting them up to display something other than the body colour when they are being edited?

Thanks

Frommy

An update to this post; I was having problems with this simply because I had added an extra field under all the others which I was conditionally formatting. What I should have done was get rid of this extra field entirely, and simply conditionally format all the fields in the portal row.

Which worked a treat.

Thanks

James
