Conditional Formatting To Hide Text Box Errors?

46 New Member
Hello,

I know there is a way to set up conditional formatting within Excel to hide errors (see link below).

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/182189

I am curious to know if this is possible to do within Access for a text box that is performing a calculation.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

(acc 2002) I've got six unbound text boxes on a subform that has a white background. Each of those six boxes has an expression that when true, will change its background from white to another color. These text boxes need to go behind a single line of other bound text boxes (which show the actual record). I.e., the purpose of the unbound text boxes w/conditional formatting is to highlight the record/background with one of six colors.

Hello all! For quite some time now, I've got the following problem: Access won't close properly when a user closes the application.

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?

I have a form where the conditional formatting is set on some fields to bold if certain conditions are met. However, when the conditions are met some of the data that is to bold is either not showing or only part of the data in the field displays (i.e. it will display the last name but not the first name or it will display neither). When the conditional formatting is removed it displays all the data as it should be display so the data...

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...

I use the formatting trick in A97 to simulate conditional formatting in continuous forms. It has, up to this point, worked fine. Today I was making some design changes to the parent form (the continuous form is a sub form within this parent form) when the formatting trick I was using stopped working. What's happening is that the character I use to 'block over' fields and make them appear to be invisible stopped displaying a solid bar...
