color database?

Hi! Is there any way to make a particular field in database
colored? What I mean is to incorporate the color into the .dbf
file itself so that whichever way u open the table, either using
Desktop Database or DBgrid in a form u'll see that field colored.

Thanks a trillion!

I don't believe so. The only way I know of coloring fields is to
use the RxDbGrid component, from the great freeware package of
components that can be found at http://rx.demo.ru

Re:color database?

There is no way to store the color as an attribute of a field in a Dbase
file. You would have to add another field to the table and store the color
information there.
