Is it possible to set the background colour for each record in a continuous
form to the colour stored in a datafield within that record?

The only way I know of to apply different formatting to different records in
a continuous form is to use conditional formatting. That, in turn, applies
only to textboxes, not to the form (or detail section itself).
So the quick answer is no, you can't do that per se.
A work-around, though, might be to put a locked textbox behind the entire
record, and use conditional formatting on that.
On second thought, you might want to disable it, too; if you don't, then
clicking on it - even accidentally- will bring it to the fore and obscure
everything else in the section.

In what event does one put this conditional formatting? I've tried "on
current" but that had a bad effect on performance.

Conditional formatting is applied to a control in Design View -
select the textbox, then on the menu click Format and Conditional
Formatting.

Hi, I know how to use javascript to change a background image to
another background image, and how to change a background colour to
another background colour. Is there a way to change an image to a
backgound colour?
I have a table with a background that has a picture. When the user
hovers over the picture I want the background to change to the
background colour of the rest of the page, as if to make the picture
disappear.

I am trying to add some visual confirmation to a continous form, to let

to set the background colour using a simple IF statement comparing the
stored date with the Date() control and the .backcolour vb control.
however once the background colour of the field has been set, it sets
the colour for every line on the form. Is there anyway of making just
specific cells on...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
