i've been trying to get conditional formatting to work via a tick box. this
is on a form
i have a text box that i'd like to have the background colour change based
on a tick box.
the text box would have white background until such time as the tick box was
ticked then the back ground of the text box would turn red.
can someone direct me as to how to accomplish this

Check boxes do not have a BackColor property to set.
On a report where you don't need to change the value, you can use a text box
that looks like a check box. Details in:

Sorry, I didn't read your question properly.
1. Open your form in design view, and select the text box to be formatted.
2. Choose Conditional Formatting on the Format menu, and set Condition 1 to:
Expression Is ... [xxx] = True
replacing "xxx" with the name of your check box.

I have an A2000 database in which I have a continuous form with a tick
box. There is also a text box with a conditional format that is based on
the expression , if it's true then change the background
colour.
In A2000 it works great, but in A2003 the background doesn't always
change and when it does it only changes when the record looses the
focus.
Any way around this? Is it a bug? Or have they "improved" it?

Does anyone know a way you can use conditional formatting to create a banded
style view as is commonly seen on the internet. (In othe words the first
record appears on a gray background, the 2nd on white, the third on gray etc
etc.) I could write an expression based on the odd/even status of the
primary key but this wont work when sorting and filtering is applied.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

I have many text fields with conditional formatting applied,
specifically when the condition is "Field Has Focus". Without any
events associated with the fields the conditional formatting works
perfectly. However, I have code that runs under the ON CLICK event. The
code changes the focus to other controls, which means the conditional
formatting is no longer displayed. This part makes sense to me.
Here's what doesn't make sense. The last...

Hello,
I have conditional formatting set up on a subform based on a calculated
value in the underlying query. For instance, if Sales are >$1000, the
query displays "Yes," otherwise it displays "No." The conditional
formatting is set up to read the 'Yes' or 'No' value and color the text
accordingly.
I have an event in the subform that allows users to update the sales.
It actually runs an update query behind the scenes. What I want to...
