Tips and Tricks

Conditional Formatting in FileMaker Pro 9

Stuart Gripman, Crooked Arm Consulting
"I want this to turn red when there's a problem" is a request I hear frequently. The users could be referring to just about anything in the database. They want some visual indication if something is abnormal. The classic case is the status of a past due invoice; they want that "Past Due" flag to show up in red. But it could be anything that needs attention. Although there are several techniques for achieving this request, they all involve defining calculation fields or running scripts. Now, however, you can make that text turn red, purple, bold, italic, and move right on the layout.
