	Hello All, I would like to be able to change the Fill Color property of a box dynamically. How would I go about that? Thanks, Craigbert

	don't think you can for a box but you can for text. replace the box with text that you set to use borders then for the background use your conditional formula for the color e.g., if x=1 then crred else cryellow

	Yes you can dynamically change the background color of text. I have a report where the color is defined on the database as a Hex string, depending on the record status. I wrote a formula to convert it to an RGB number and put it into the background color formula. That way the report has the same colors as the application. Works like a charm.
