Is there a document anywhere that outlines what is possible with report scripting. I have opened some and looked at the VBScript, but the thing is, I really don't even know what can be done. Thanks...

Although the VBScript link shows possible keywords for coding in vbscript, I know that ACT will only allow some of these; which ones?
In particular, what are the properties or attributes that can be changed for a field in a contact report?
I know you can set Field1.text and Field1.visible, etc. What is the full list of attributes that a user can change in the report script? And ideally, what are the possible values they can be set to? It would look like:
Field
text "any string"
visible {True} - False
background color {transparent} - red - blue - yellow OR [1 0 0] - [0 0 1] - [1 1 0] >>I'm not sure what it wants.
etc......
I want to run a service past due report that will essentially highlight certain dates. Each customer has 3 pieces of equipment with 3 service dates associated with them, but if only one piece of equipment has a service date older than today, I want only that date to have a yellow background color (or be bolded or boxed or something to make it stand out from the other dates per customer on the report).
Here's the code I have that is NOT working. On Format:
If Service1 < PrintDate1 Then
Service1.backgroundcolor = Yellow
ElseIf Service2 < PrintDate1 Then
Service2.backgroundcolor = Yellow
Else
Service1.backgroundcolor = Transparent
Service2.backgroundcolor = Transparent
EndIf
Doesn't work:
If 1 =1 Then
Service1.backgroundcolor = Yellow
EndIf
Doesn't work:
If 1 =1 Then
Service1.borderstyle = Solid
EndIf
Does work:
If 1 = 1 Then
Service1.visible = False
EndIf
I'm not sure if it's my syntax or OnPrint vs OnFormat or what ACT allows/is setup for. I'm just using trial and error.... :/
