Re: Yellow in DSPF

Bill,

The problem with this method is that the column separators reappear when the 
background colour changes (e.g. when a field is made reverse image). The better 
solution is:

From the menu bar choose "Edit", "Preferences", "Appearance", second option (I 
have a Dutch version; should be something like "Screen characteristics"). Scroll 
the left column down and click the option that displays "Num" - "01/001". Now 
you can choose the type of column separator you want: "Line", "Point" or "Off". 
(If you have only two options, it is high time you upgrade to a more recent 
version of Client Access, oops, iSeries Access).
