Conditional Formating Help

[Thumper87]

im building a database to record my data on all my pet reptiles and i have a lout that records medical information, on this layout is a field with value yes or no, which tells me if the animal is currently under medical attention. im trying to conditionally format this so when the animal is under medical attention it would show either a image or a text label on the main records screen over the animals photo saying something like "Medical Alert" and is the dropdown box is selected to "No" then the image or text label doesnt show. is this possible in filemaker 11?

Yes. Create a text object with the words "Medical Alert" and position it over the image. Use conditional formatting to change the font size to 500 point if the drop-down box is no: this essentially moves the text off-screen so it does not show.

I'd do it this way:
