I am designing forms which will have a text box that users will change the
fill/back color to signify that topics status.
My question is: can I design the form so that after a color is selected it
will appear in the table as text?
Example: yellow fill = slow progress
Thanks for your help!
 
Why not do it the other way around? (Unless you're on a continuous
form)...have the background color automatically change with respect to the
current status and then have a legend that show all available status colors?
 
My co-workers would like a color rather than words, they feel the "stop
light" affect is a better way to view. I am thinking about creating a drop
down list, they could select the "word" then that would cause the field to be
a solid color, of course back fill and font colors would have to match.
Would that work? and How do I do that. Unless of course you know of a way
to have the field on a form back filled a color and in the underlying table
translate to a word.
Let me know
Thank you!
