In Access 2000 or newer....
In Form or Report Design View, click on the control you wish to
conditionally format.
Then click on Format + Conditional Formatting.
Follow the dialog.

Morning Fred,

Thank you. I would do the conditional format base on the value of a box. For
example 1 will turn the background to red, 2 turn to green etc.

Is there any way I would do the formating for the whole record, instead of
just a field, in a continuous form ?

Many thanks,

Rach

Hello, I've been just investigating IE conditional comments - hiding things from non-IE/Win browsers is easy, but I wanted to know, if it's possible to hide code from IE/Win browsers.

Is there any way to use conditional formating to change a control for a field in a continuous form to a textbox, option group or combobox depending on the value of another field on the form? On a continuous form, I need some records to have a textbox, some to have an option group and some to have a combobox in the same field. Thanks, Tom

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