Change fill color based on expiration date

[Michalleddy92@gmail.com]

I am trying to make a field change its fill color based on its expiration date. I have tried to figure out a way to do it using the action builder to no avail.

Example:

User enters expiration date in the date field

if the date is greater than 90 days out the fill color stays white

if the date is greater than 60 days out but less than 90 days out it turns green

if the date is greater than 30 days out but less than 60 days out it turns yellow

if the date is less than 30 days out it turns red

I was easily able to make this work in excel using =XX>TODAY() + 60 and a quick format change but livecycle is proving to be much more difficulty. Obviously I could stick with excel but PDF is so much cleaner IMO.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is this an Acrobat PDF form?

Yes, I am trying to create it out of livecycle but I am not against creating it out of acrobat as well.

Well, the two things are very different. If it's an LCD form ask here: LiveCycle Designer

Okay. I just posted here since it was a scripting issue. The form is actually completely made at this point, its just the custom validation that is giving me trouble.

Well, this forum is more about JavaScript in Acrobat forms. For questions about JS in LCD forms use that other forum.
