Change color of a subform’s rows

Is there any way of changing the background color in some rows in a form?

you can change the text color - but other thats pretty much it. Background can be altered in reports by using bitmaps but not forms as far as i know.

On-the-fly changing of colours is only possible with the foreground.
You need to put some code in the OnFormat-trigger of each field:

CurrForm."The Field".UPDATEFORECOLOR(intTheColour);

So if you need to calculate the colour-value, best put it in the OnAfterGetRecord-trigger and don't repeat it in each OnFormat-trigger.
