How do I change font color based on a database field?

1. Open the designer and add the following function to the Functions tab of the Properties window:
def depcolor(dep):
  s = str(dep)
  if s == 'Name of Department 1':
    return 'Red'
  elif s == 'Name of Department 2':
    return 'Green'
  else:
    return 'Black'
2. Add a variable called dep to the Variables tab of the Properties window.

3. Select the DEPARTMENT column in the Data tab on the left-hand side of the main window, drag it to the Variables tab in the Properties window and drop it in the value text box of dep (in version 7.0 drag-and-drop is not available and you have to map the variable in the mappings window after finishing the steps below).

depcolor(dep)
