changing text in a form

[rwilson32]

How do I change the text of only certain boxes on a continuous form. What I am talking about is one text box in design view, but if I change it there it changes all of them in form view, there has to be some way from code to change only the boxes i want to change. thanks.

In A2K you could use Conditional Formatting, but you would need to set certain conditions.

What kind of conditions and how exactly do I do that?

Open your form in design view, select the text box you want to format, goto Format >>> Conditional formatting. Here you can select how you want the field to react on a certain condition.

For example, if It were a date field that I wanted to stand out between certain dates (say 01/01/2002 and 01/01/2003) my formatting would look like...

Condition1
Field Value Is Between #01/01/2002# #01/01/2003#

and I'd select bold, red text. Now every date in your continuous form between those dates would stand out like a sore thumb!

Hope this helps
