HI Jim,

There is a way to do it, using dates fields, but if I could do Format="Z" I will be soo happy! :) Take a look:

* GotFocus Event
If This.Value = {}
    This.ForeColor = RGB(0,0,0)
EndIf
* LostFocus Event
If This.Value = {}
    This.ForeColor = RGB(255,255,255)
EndIf
* In Grades, you can use DynamicForeColor:
This.DynamicForeColor = IIF(DataField={},RGB(255,255,255),RGB(0,0,0,)

Like you see, we can do it... But I ask here about it to know if there are some another way to do it! :)
I already insert it in Toledo Wish List!
