Only 3 days left of our trial-
I have a problem with his code used in event before show:
If tasks.task_finish_date.Value < now() Then
tasks.task_finish_date.Value = "<b><font color=""red"">" & tasks.task_finish_date.Value & "</font></b>"
End if
I catch the right records but the fields are blank instead of bold and red
what am I dooing wrong?

Hi,
I couldn't find this section in the tutorial, so the question is if the regular tutorial works for you? For example: http://docs.codecharge.com/studio/html/QuickStart/EnhAp...FieldValue.html ?
And what happens if you don't apply the blue color to the date? Can you see the dates in standard color?
And, have you applied step 6 from http://docs.codecharge.com/studio/html/QuickStart/EnhAp...rTextColor.html to your date field?

yes - we try to test a bit further than the tutorial - It is easy to assign red to all columns bigger or smaller than task_finsh_date.
The problem occurs when we try to apply font attributes to the task_finish_date
tasks.task_finish_date.Value = "<b><font color=""red"">" & tasks.task_finish_date.Value & "</font></b>"
in the above case the chosen fields just blanks, where the code below
works fine and we get the nice red status_id (status_name)
If tasks.task_finish_date.Value < now() Then
tasks.status_id.Value = "<b><font color=""red"">" & tasks.status_id.Value & "</font></b>"
End if

I think that this doesn't work because the "Date" type field must contain the date. Once you change it's value then it is no longer the date and becomes a string or text. Therefore please change "Date Type" property of that field to "Text". The only problem then could be that then you would also be responsible for formatting this text in the date format that you want to use.
Alternatively, you could place a new Label in front of your Date label and then mainpulate that other Label, for example:
If (something) then tasks.Label1.Value = "<font color=""red"">" Else tasks.Label1.Value = "<font>"

tx for helping.
the field is changed to text - and I'm sure the problem has something to do with the date format - unfortunately I couldn't make your last solution work.
I'm stuck-
maybee- someone else has tried this and got a solution?

I tried both of these solutions and both worked OK for me.
So, what happens if you set the "Date Type" to "Text"?
And what happens when you use the 2nd solution? What is the problem?

When you are using cascading style sheets, those styles override your font attributes. create a style or class instead and programmatically set it
