Update a field color based on field contents

by DeanL <deanpmlonghurst@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 16, 2008 at 12:26 PM

Hi guys,

I'm using a subform to display a list of values from a single table.
The form is showing the values in "continuous forms" view and there
will only ever be two different values for the form.  The form show 2
fields, 1 is a number and the second is a calculated field that says
either "Valid" or "Invalid" based on the first fields contents.  What
I need to do is if the value is Invalid then I'd either like the text
or the actual field to be red so it stands out from the other fields
but if the value is Valid then I want the field to be standard (i.e.
white background, black text.).

Could anyone help me to work this out as it's probably very simple but
I've been pulling my hair out this morning (and there isn't very much
to begin with.).

Many thanks, Dean...
