Excuse me, Carey. I misunderstood what you were saying. You were referring to
Frederick’s solution below. That look’s do-able, and I’ll give it a try.
Thank you, Carey, and Fred, and all others who responded.

I think you will find that the color is only set for the rows when the
table is refreshed.
Changing the selection value after refresh does not change the row
color. (At least in v6.3 it did not work that way. Maybe 7.1 will be
different, but I doubt it.)
And frankly, given any ADA requirements, using color is a bad way to
communicate with users. I personally prefer the extra column approach.
You can even combine the two if you want to as well. The extra column
could be 'Display Type' = "Read Only-HTML" and stuff HTML into each
cell to color the page and add text to match the "state" for the row.
So the background could be "green" and you could put the word "green"
in the cell too. ( Just a thought)

Like I said I could not highlite multiple rows thru workflow.
My solution was to do the following:
Add a Display Only field on the form (I used a 3 character field)
Add this Display Only field as a column in the table (Yes you can add
Display only fields from the form that holds the table as columns in the
table). I called my column "Selected"
In your Display workflow do the following
Refresh the table
walk the table
while walking the table
if 'your storage field' like "%" + 'Entry ID col' + "%"
then set the display only field to "Yes" and set the column to
"Yes"
else clear the display only field
I also changed it so that users double click on a row instead of
multiple selecting and that set's the Selected column to "Yes" for that
row (If Col = "Yes" clear the col and the Display Only else set both.
