A different conditional formatting problem in Access 2003

Here's a problem I haven't seen discussed.

I have a continuous form with a conditional format for the background color
of a text box. It had been working fine until I upgraded to Access 2003 SP3.
Now, with no other changes, the color change for condition 1 doesn't work.
Instead, the color displayed is my default color. Conditions 2 and 3 work as
they always have. Has anyone seen this?

I'm certainly disappointed in the complete lack of help from the group.
Fortunately, I found a fix myself. I deleted all of the conditional formats
from the form and then re-entered them. I don't know why, but that fixed the
problem.

Are you a troll or an whiney baby?

You certainly have a right to be disappointed. Nobody bothered to
answer your question. If I were you, I would take my business
elsewhere and refuse to post any more questions on this newsgroup.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

See?

Incidentally, the fact that your fix worked is suspicious. You could have
some corruption in your file. If I were you I'd import everything into a new
file, then run with that. Anything that won't copy you can bet is messed up,
and will need to be either restored from backup or re-created.

I apologize for spending my free time answering
intelligent questions here in CDMA and ignoring
your rather stupid question, posted in a slurper.
Oh, me, oh, my... are you saying that "Something went wrong somewhere. What
do I do?" doesn't qualify as an intelligent question? :-)

Interesting to me why anyone would use a "gateway site" like that to access
newsgroups. I suppose if I would log in at one or two of them, I might
discover their attraction, but it seems such a waste of time.
