Your assumptions are correct. However, would it be possible to highlight the
field itself, instead of changing the color of the text in the field? In most cases there we be no text in column C yet. This spreadsheet is supposed to alert a user to enter something in column C if the difference between column A and column B is greater than 30 days.

When you are picking your format, choose the Patterns tab, that is the
background color of the cell. -- ** John C ** "Candace" wrote: Your assumptions are correct.
