I have a file which I am setting up preferences for my client to change the look of the file without entering layout mode of course. So I'm using conditional formatting on the backgrounds and text field labels.

Nine of the tables are the main data entry screens. However, on 2 screens I can't get conditional formatting to work. I used container fields that provide the backgrounds where they can select a color from a repeating field of 24 choices. This works like a champ, including the 2 screens in question.

I used radio buttons to select from a value list of colors. The condition is formatted as such:

Global fields::TextLabelColor = "White"

Global fields::TextLabelColor = "Black"

Global fields::TextLabelColor = "Dk grey"

Global fields::TextLabelColor="Mid grey" etc... This works perfectly in the 7 other screens.

I'm perplexed and hoping someone could shed some light on it for me.

Thanks

Solution discovered: Changed the textColorLabel field to GLOBAL. Now everything works just fine.
