Well, suppose there is not a bug, nor an improvement. About 99.9999999999%
of all bugs suggested here are actually user error. Maybe yours isn't.
So, now what?
We are guessing.
And we are trying to interpret what you have said. My interpretation is
that you want the background color to change when you click MyTickBox. Does
Conditional Formatting activate when a control event occurs? My guess is,
"No". But this happened, (another interpretation of what you describe), in
Ac2K, and it does not happen in Ac2K3. So why might this change hace
occurred. Certainly one reason could be a bug or improvement in AC2K3.
Another could be that however the conversion from Ac2K to Ac2K3 was done,
the code behind the form was left behind. Not that? Then my next guess is
that the name of MyTickBox was changed.
In the end, I would try to write some on click code for MyTickBox which
would apply the conditional formatting to the text box. I'm not an expert
on conditional formatting for sure, but another guess is that Me.Refresh
should apply that Conditional Formatting.
