Thanks for your help, but i don't think i clarified my request clear enough : i don't want to change the color of the whole column in the browser, i just want to change the color of a specific field (row in the browser) based upon the value of this field: for exemple i want all the records in the browser that have a negatif value in the balance field (which is a concatenated field) to be displayed in red.
thanks again
