Karen, I have been away from the computer for a while. What I want is if any of the rows, not just the focused row, are negative then:
1) A warning box would come up. I have this completed. 2) The cursor focuses on the detail section. I have this completed. 3) The offending row in the scrolling region would do something to get the attention of the user. Number three is what I need. It would be great if the cursor would not only jump to the detail section but to the offending row.

Would it be good enough to put a red variable with the word "negative" or 2 red parenthesis around the field if it is negative? Something like: set var vNegText = (IFLT(column, 0, 'NEGATIVE', ' ')) Karen -----Original Message----- From: Jim Belisle <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Wed, Mar 4, 2015 4:15 pm Subject: [RBASE-L] - negative highlighted in scrolling region Scrolling region with a variable vemptime that calculates the time for a process. The driving table of this form is different than the scrolling region. Sometimes when importing into this table, the times are messed up and this var becomes negative. (The variable is based on the punch in punch out times). My code shows a PAUSE clause then forces the cursor into the scrolling region if the punch out time is less than the punch in time. What I want now is the offending var field to change color because it is negative. Since there are multiple rows and many of them will be fine, I only want to var field that is negative to change.
