Yes, absolutely, this will work on non-contiguous rows too.

Can this technique be applied to highlighting multiple non-contiguous “check box” rows?

Yes, but you have to do a little bit of work. The general idea is that you need to store the row id in a global variable or a global field for each row you want selected. Then, use conditional formatting to test to see if each record’s id is matches one stored in your global list. Tip: use patterncount( )

I am relatively new to Filemaker, so please excuse me if I don’t make much sense!

I have a question for you all, rather than a comment.

Is there a way to allow people to select multiple portal rows using the “Portal Row Highlighting” method shown above? I would want people to be able to select apples, oranges and bananas, making all three of those rows blue. Is that possible?

Thanks!
