Conditional Formatting not on new record

[oxicottin]

Hello, I have a continuous form and I'm using Conditional Formatting to color the controls that are not filled in.

Ex: Expression Is = IsNull([txtNetProduct])

But I don't want to color the controls of a NEW record or row unless a record is created. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks!

1. Add a new Yes/No Field to your underlying Table
2. Name it IsRecord
3. Add this Field to your Form
4. Set the Textbox's Visibilty to No

Place this code in your Code Module for the Form

Private Sub Form_Dirty(Cancel As Integer)
 Me.IsRecord = -1
End Sub

Then, in Conditional Formatting, use

Expression Is : [IsRecord]=-1 And IsNull([txtNetProduct])

If you have an Autonumber field in your table (e.g. AutoID), instead of...

Expression Is : [IsRecord]=-1 And IsNull([txtNetProduct])

you could use...

Expression Is : NOT IsNull([AutoID]) And IsNull([txtNetProduct])
