Example
The following statement is for the Color property of the emp_id, emp_fname, emp_lname, and emp_birth_date columns:
If(month(birth_date) = month (today()), 255, 0)
If the employee has a birthday in the current month, the information for the employee displays in red. Otherwise, the information displays in black.
The Font.Underline property has the same conditional expression defined for it so that the example shows clearly on paper when printed in black and white.
