Re: External Subfile indicator question...

[mlazarus <mlazarus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry,

 To solve the "read issue" you're running into, I create a hidden field 
and save the value there.  That value would get returned to you when you 
read the subfile record.  Then set the color accordingly, before you 
update the record.
