hi,

I am using AspRunner 2.4 to generate a few asp pages.

Everything is working fine.

However, would anyone know, is it possible to change

the colour of some text if it meets a certain criteria?
I would like the text in the colum 'Days left to Close'


If the number is negative i wouls like it to change to RED!
Thanx in advance............Christy

Christy,
here is how you can do this.
Open ..._list.asp file in any text editor and find portion of code that dsiplays DaysLeft field. That would something like this:

<%

if IsBinaryField(rsData.Fields("DaysLeft")) or Format("DaysLeft")=FORMAT_DATABASE_FILE then

   Response.Write CreateImageControl(rsData, "DaysLeft", "")

else

   Response.Write ProcessLargeText(GetData(rsData.Fields("DaysLeft"), ""))

end if

%>


Here is how it should look like:

<%

if CLng(GetData(rsData.Fields("DaysLeft"), ""))<0

   Response.Write "<font color=red>" & GetData(rsData.Fields("DaysLeft"), "") & "</font>"

else

   Response.Write GetData(rsData.Fields("DaysLeft"), "")

end if

%>


I hope this helps.

<%

if CLng(GetData(rsData.Fields("DaysLeft"), ""))<0

      Response.Write "<font color=red>" & GetData(rsData.Fields("DaysLeft"), "") & "</font>"

else

      Response.Write GetData(rsData.Fields("DaysLeft"), "")

end if

%>


This works great - i needed to add 'then' after ...""))<0
I have some fields which have null values

so i'll need to use isNull statement to work round this problem

as it will not display any fields that are blank...
Thanx...............again
