    Highlight rows based on # of child records

    Hi,
    In a simple relational database project I am tasked to highlight those rows of records, in a regular table display, that have 1 or more child records. I am asking for help constructing the formula field that would accomplish this please.


    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Tell us more about the Table and the Child records.
    "in a regular table display" --- what is that exactly

    Let me rephrase it. In a display of parent records, a display reminiscent of an Excel spreadsheet, I'd like to be able to colorize those rows of parent records that have children.

    You may be able to do what you are suggesting with conditional formatting on a form or report.
