R:BASE 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.4.30623 or higher) . R:BASE C/S:I 7.6 for Windows (Build: 7.6.4.30623 or higher) . R:BASE Turbo V-8 for Windows (Build: 8.0.18.30623 or higher) While in Form, Label or Report Designer, defining a background color, when the ordinary color palate does not give the color you need, you always have the choice to opt for "Custom ..." colors. Selecting this option provides you with a selection of 48 Basic Colors as well as the option to define or select from 16 "Custom Colors". Once custom colors are defined and added to the list, only the logged in user on that workstation can access those Custom Colors while in Form, Label or Report Designer. In an environment of R:BASE Developers and/or Team of R:BASE Contractors and Sub-Contractors, each developer must define those custom colors manually for R:BASE 7.6 and Turbo V-8 for Windows, in order to follow the application standards. In addition, if you define all those custom colors and for some reason you need to replace a hard drive or re-install R:BASE 7.6 or Turbo V-8 Windows, you also have to re-define those custom colors when designing Forms, Labels or Reports. Did you know that you can export your custom defined colors to a text file and then import them back into R:BASE 7.6 or Turbo V-8 when you need them again, or distribute to your own developers or contractors for consistency purposes? Here' how: 01. Start R:BASE 7.6 or Turbo V-8 for Windows 02. Open any Form, Label or Report in designer 03. Select any control and use the Object Property to change background color 04. Select the "Custom ..." from the bottom of the list 05. Define your custom color or Add to existing Custom Colors 06. Click on [OK] button to save Custom Colors 07. Now if you wish to export all defined Custom Colors: Database Explorer | Settings | Custom Colors Notice the following options: Save to file ... Load from File ... 08. You may also import from a file that was created in Step 07 Enjoy and make sure to have fun! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
