BOOLEAN confusion

[bv0719]

Hello...

CR2008 - Have a formula ({@closed}) in the details section that returns a boolean True / False. I want to use the section expert to color the section if the formula is true. Tried entering {@closed} = "true". Program responds with "A boolean is required here" message.

Tried adding () around the formula, no luck. Tried using totext on the formula, no luck. What am I missing?

Thanks,
BV

duh... just figured it out.

if {@closed} = true then crsilver else nocolor

Sorry.

Also, to save coding, when you have a formula that evaluates to True or False, you don't have to use "= true" in your if...then statement. For your example, this would work just as well:

if {@closed} then crsilver else nocolor

A computer only does what you actually told it to do - not what you thought you told it to do.
