I have a computed subform on which I have several checkboxes. I set the font color to a dark red. (these particular fields need to stand out for design reasons) The color is displayed accurately until the form is refreshed (either f9 or uidoc.refresh) - at which point the fields are then displayed in black. This was occuring in 8.0.1 … so I tried installing 8.0.2 as well as CCH3. The situation still occurred.
I eliminated any chance that it was some sort of form or subform corruption by recreating the problem using a very simple form with computed subform. The test subform contained only a (red) checkbox field. The form contained only a (red) checkbox field and the computed subform. When I create a doc with the test form both fields are displayed in the client in red. After hitting f9 the field which is located on the subform turns black.
