CR Change text colors at runtime [RESOLVED]
I have a CR8 report that compiles data about machinery uptime and compares it to goals set by management. I have the math working correct to show the difference between actual and goal. CR will dutifully place the negative values in parentheses for me, but I would like to also have it set the field color to red if it's negative. The field is in a group, so would have to be evaluated for each group to determine if it's less than or equal to zero. Anyone have any ideas as to how to do this?

Use the Format Formula Editor under the Selection Expert
and create a formula that will change the font forecolor depending
upon whatever criteria you want.

I couldn't find the Format Formula Editor (I found the edit formula. Is this what you were referring to?), but your suggestion did lead me to the Highlighting Expert which worked out fine. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
