I am trying to have the conditional formatting background colours change
IF 5 % (with the percent sign) the colour would be Green
if $5 (with the Dollar sign) the colour would be Orange

The database is Access 2003 and t5he field is Text.

Your suggestion will be appreciated.

5 % would be stored as .05 normally, does that help if they are both in the same field?

first condition (green)
Expression: ([fieldname] & "" = "5 %") Or ([fieldname] & "" = "5%")

second (orange)
Expression: ([fieldname] & "" = "$5") Or ([fieldname] & "" = "$ 5")

Field Value is // greater than // %
Field Value is // greater than // $

We do appreciate your suggestion.
