Conditional Fomatting Update

I have a field on a form which shows a field with conditional
formatting. From this form, it is possible to open another form where
the user can update things which will affect the field with the
formatting.

When this second form closes, it calls a .Requery for the first form.
The value in the formatted field updates, but it's formatting does not.

What else do I need to do?

No one ever seems to answer my questions unless I ask again in the same
thread.

Am I being rude in some way I am not aware of? Am I not explaining the
problem well enough? Is it because of my totally bogus email address?
Is "HateSpam" offensive in some way?

I didn't answer because I didn't, and don't, know the answer to your
technical question. It would have been a waste of everyone's time for me to
just post, "I don't know." Perhaps that was the reason that others did not
respond, either.

But, it was worth letting you know, now, that I had read it.

What version of Access?

Have you tried:
1) Calling the form's Repaint method?
or
2) Setting the calling form's Visible prop to No and then back to Yes
just to see if that rectifies the issue.

Hi all I'm trying to create a summery table of rain data that holds a record for every 0.1mm of rain in the following format: Station Name, Time, Value A, 2002-12-03 14:44:41.000, 0.1 A, 2002-12-03 14:45:45.000, 0.1 A, 2002-12-03 14:49:45.000, 0.1 A, 2002-12-09 05:30:35.000, 0.1 A, 2002-12-09 05:30:37.000, 0.1

Each has several fields which use a lookup across another table to ensure only valid values can be selected in those fields. I...

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...

Hi There, I'm currently in a mild state of confusion about the Conditional Attribute. The code below is taken from the implementation of "Design By Contract" that I've put in somewhere in my project. As you might expect the code outputs "DBC_CHECK_ALL is defined" when Check.Require(...) is called and the project is compiled with DEBUG settings. #define DBC_CHECK_ALL

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
