change font color

One of my develoeprs tried to do this some time ago with no success. She thought the same thing "Custom DisplaY". The problem is is that any code such as required to change font colors etc in the list page, will be the default value on the ADD Page. Not at all what you want.
We tried several different ways, and left posts here and got nothing. We even tried this code below (taken from tips, but it works fine). The script is displayed on the EDIT Page as a default value!
We now think that it has to be an event, but getting help on events can be difficult as most people here are volunteers and have real lives.
Maybe it can help you and if you figure out how to do this in an event, please post.
str = "<table width=100% bgcolor="

strFont = "" this can be changed later, but is not relevant here
if strValue<0 then Admin account, set Background to Green

str = str & "green"

end if
if strValue=0 then guest account, set Background to red to flag it

str = str & "red"

end if
if strValue>0 AND strValue=1 then standard user, set to blue

str = str & "blue"

end if
str = str & "><tr><td><b><font"& strFont &">" & strValue & "</font></b></td></tr></table>"

strValue = str

ducky,
here is how you can do this. I assume that field names are Name and Title. Set 'View as' type of Name field to 'Custom' and use the following code:

myPCdoctor,
if Custom code appears as default value on Edit page something is wrong and you need to contact support.

Thankyou sir, you are the man. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=34595&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />
My next challenge will be to disable/enable add/edit/delete links. That otta be fun. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=34595&image=2&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />
Cool product, thanks again for the help.
Ducky.

Ducky,
I recommend to check user group permissions for this purpose.

the Custom code idea on the Visual Editor works, but only if i removed the reference to the rs() variable.
Indeed leaving the rs variable in the custom code brough the following error when clicking on a master-to-detail link.
"Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal".
So the bit that worked is below (i replaced the rs variable by the strValue variable)
if strValue="mrs" then

strValue = "<font color=blue>" & strValue & "</font>"

else

strValue = "<font color=greeen>" & strValue & "</font>"

end if
