flagging a record

[madman411]

hi all. i hope this is the right forum to post this in. please point me in the right direction if possible.

i have created a small database for a projection booth that tracks what movies/prints are playing in certain auditoriums, etc. it also keeps track of problems that happen and i've included a log in the database. the log entries are displayed through a portal for that particular day. i want to include a "flag" button for each entry, but i'm unsure on how to make the button highlight the particular portal row that needs to be flagged. highlighting the row isn't necessarily the only way to "flag" entries, but it's one option. perhaps it changes the color of the text or something. how can i achieve this? the flag option needs to be able to turn on or off the highlighting/text color change.

i'm using fmp 10 adv.

thanks guys!

yes that's exactly what i was looking for. how could i get something like this to work on a form list? would it be the same script?

thanks

What is a form list?

I can see that you did it but how do I see how you did it? Or is this only something you can do with the later version of FMP?

EDIT:

I think this is a rhetorical question...further research is being conducted...

Each field has conditional formatting applied to it. You can see the calc used by selecting the field while in Layout Mode and choosing Format>conditional.
