Man, I think both of these "enhancements" SHOULD be given serious attention by RBTI, if they haven't already started working on 'em. Both of these ideas,
- "Conditional Color(s)", based (perhaps) on the value of the data w/in a field - "Form/Grid/Presentation_Object Refresh Interval", at Pick_The_Appropriate_Object Level are great ideas that should be included in what appears to be a good and getting better product. Razzak & RBTI, I'm not trying to damn you "with feint praise", but these little bells-n-whistles are so useful to app-dev folks that they are actually far beyond little musical chimes, if you'll allow me to continue the metaphor. My $0.02, FWIW, but, I'd be happy to try and write-up functional descriptions ...
