trying to change color in fields in form filled via data block [message #538211]

Greetings!

I'm trying to change the attributes on a display where the info is gathered via a routine that fills the data block with info. I've searched and tried using 'set item instance property' in several places within the data block using different triggers but still doesn't work.

What could I possibly be doing wrong? No errors are encountered or shown. Attributes aren't changed based on a small test condition.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Vernon

You need to tell us the exact code and triggers you are using.
Set item instance property should just work.

Have you got an on-error trigger that's masking errors?

cookiemonster...

I've resolved my problem by using Set item instance property in the pre text & post text item triggers. It now works. Thanks for your help and concern!
