Can the background colour of a form be variable, according to the value in a field? ---

Not as far as I know, but a label can. Just place a label on the background of your form, anchor it at all corners and make it the size of the form. ---

Could ‘servoy\_row\_bgcolor’ calculation function be used for this ? By replacing the index modulo test with the test required by Morley ? Not even thought about this until now ! Cheers Harry ---

Hi Harry, yes, this will work. Just for extra fun - you can also use GLOBAL VARIABLES in your background record calculation - so you can change them on the fly.
