Turn label of a field red when data has changed in another field
I am attempting to change the color of a font in a label to RED if the value of an adjacent field has changed. Doesn't matter what it changed to, I just need it to turn red if the item has changed at all. I am new to this so any help appreciated. Maximum points awarded. I need it urgently!

what language?
Also need to know - when the "adjacent field" changes - how does it change? Is the adjacent field a user input field or is it databound and read-only?

Powerbuilder 9. It is a dropdown data window field. It is databound, yes. It pulls lookups from another table. It's not read only.
In the MS world, many objects have a ForeColor property that you can change dynamically.
