Can we Bold text in configurator?

I added a browser field, then pointed it at different .mht files depending on the error condition. You can create the message in Word in whatever fonts/size/color you want, then save it as a "Single File Web Page". You can also use in conjunction with a text field to create a generic "Bad Info - See below for details"-type message.

That may work some too, I was trying to make the label field or whatever type really stick out (if I could bold or something, but doesn't look possible), because it could get lost in all the data already displayed for the entry people.

I'm not sure there is even an area to change font, size, bold etc... in the configurator fields as this can all be done in Crystal reports later on when needed. But I was trying to do an error checking that would make a edit field or any other type of field become visible and display a message.

If ChrTest = "" then do:
EdtSuf = "WARNING ---> '" + ChrSuf + "' is an INVALID combination. Please see Companion Pages & change the suffix before proceeding.".
FieldInvisible('EdtSuf',False).
End.

This makes an editor field visible if conditions are met and changes it value. Is there some way out of curiosity to change the font size or ability to bold it to make it really stick out when it happens? This would be used in conjunction with a required field btw.

FYI,
While thinking about how to work around this; a possible solution to this is to use a browser field within the Configurator. Then store a simple webpage on a folder to display warning or something along those lines.

I always put a field on the form for displaying "diagnostic" data. Sometimes just for development (and then I hide it before release), but more often as feedback to the data entry person. Sometimes I put warings " ***Selected cable size is too small *** ", or a preview of a calculated field (like the generated Part Description).

To "highlight" the errant field, you could put a read only field with an ! or an 'X' in it, and display it using the "display when" (or whatever it's called) property.

Hope this helps.

This is similiar to what I started doing, hadn't for some reason thought of using ***** to make it stick out. That may work some too, I was trying to make the label field or whatever type really stick out (if I could bold or something, but doesn't look possible), because it could get lost in all the data already displayed for the entry people.

Thanks,
