I have date field called DateDone

In DateDone equation I placed the following:

A:ItemColor=&H808080:ItemColor=

It is supposed to turn font grey when <CTRL>+M or context checkmark is used

but it doesn't

what should the formula be?

Thank you

you're missing the letter for the second part and a seperater

Try this

A:ItemColor=&H808080|E:ItemColor=

That was it but @ the same time it wasnt' what I wanted to do.
I wanted the font to change to that color..... eeeeeek

Does ForeColor command (presuming this means font color) only work w boolean field? If so, I don't understand why it shouldn't work with a done field which is essentially boolean.

Thanks.

Have you tried using that auto-assign rule but with the ItemForeColor field?

A:ItemForeColor=&H808080|E:ItemForeColor=

Yes I did but maybe I did something wrong so I'm going to copy / paste yours to see what happens

I now realize my mistake: I forgot (or didn't know enough) to put 'item' in front of 'forecolor' so it read "itemforecolor"

Now that I've done that it works as it should. Thanks, Pierre.

Will I *ever* learn this program?
