uniquely identify selected records in a table

[Takeadoe]

Folks,

>From what I've been able to gather from previous posts, I gather that

the answer to my question is probably NO - but I'll ask just to make
sure.

I want to do the following:

1) Run a select query to find Record x.
2) Change the value in Field 1 of Record X from "Yesterday" to
"Tomorrow"
3) Change the font color, font size, border, fill, anything associated
with this record so that it can be uniquely identified by someone at a
later date.

It will be a table that will be accessed by lots of people with little
or no Access experience - sort of like myself, so it will have to be
simple.

Thank you so much for your help.

Nope. You need to save some DATA in that record that can be used to find
the record at a later date. None of that other stuff is "associated with a
record".

Now, you could store some data in that record and have code in a report that
would see that data and make that record on the report have diffferent
color, shading, font, whatever, but you can't make the table do that by
itself.
