When there is an empty field in CR. need it to highlight in red, what is the syntax for a field that is empty this is what I have
if currentfieldvalue="tom" then
craqua
else if currentfieldvalue="sallie" then
craqua
else if currentfieldvalue="" then
crred
Ant help would be appreciated

Hi,
Use below logic:
if currentfieldvalue in ["tom","sallie"] then
craqua
else if (currentfieldvalue="" or IsNull(currentfieldvalue)) then
crred

You may also have to replace the NULL fields with empty strings

Thanks for the assistance when I type in the code its telling me a field is required, where I have it in bold.
else if (currentfieldvalue="" or IsNull(currentfieldvalue)) then
crred.

Null fields cannot be highlighted (back ground color changed).
You may need to create a formula field to use as your display field rather than the original field
example:
if ISNULL(table.field) then "" else table.field
place the above formula field onto the report canvas.
use a conditional background formula on it
if currentfieldvalue in ["tom","sallie"] then
craqua
else if currentfieldvalue="" then crred
else crnocolor
