Conditional Formatting

On a form I have a pair of calculated fields which are calculated by different means, but should show the same value. Both fields have their Enabled and Locked properties set to "No", and consequently have their backgrounds set to grey and cannot receive focus. I am using conditional formatting with the expression :

Round([CostInclMarkup])<>[TotAllocdCosts]

to set the text colour of the TotAllocdCosts field to red, and that works fine.

BUT, if the conditional fires, and changes the text to red, it also clears the background and the field can receive focus and I am then able to access the TotAllocdCosts field and change its contents.

Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening, and what to do to prevent it ?
 
Not sure what is happening there but it definitely doesn't sound right. Can you upload your database so I can take a look?
 
Hi -due to commercial considerations, I cannot post the whole database, but I shall see if I can create a dummy one to replicate the problem. Please bear with me.
