Re: Forms4.5 Problem

Try this....

Set up a Visual Attributes: COLOR1

                                        COLOR2

In the Post-Query trigger for the block, do following:

    IF (criteria met) THEN

         Display_Item('block.item', 'COLOR1');     ELSE
         Display_Item('block.item', 'COLOR2');     END IF; This will set the color for each individual cell.

Hope this helps,
Lisa
