Microsoft Access Conditional Formatting Expression Is

Did you know that it's possible to apply conditional formatting to fields in a Microsoft Access form or report based on the value in a different field in the same record? For example, you can look at the Credit Limit field and apply a format change to the other fields in the same record based on that Credit Limit? This tutorial explains how to apply that conditional formatting using an Expression. To learn more Access, visit 599CD.com/XA9WN4

In access 2007, I followed the same steps as in this video. I successfully applied the conditional formatting to the single cell. However, when I attempt to apply the conditional formatting to the rest of the row, it does not work. (Background: I am using a Date, and my condition is "Date() - [DATE_VARIABLE] >=10" --> when it has been 10 or more days since the DATE_VARIABLE, the row will change format. As I said, I got the DATE_VARIABLE to change formats, but I cannot get the rest of the row to change...) Any thoughts?

How about the conditional formatting looking at a field in a related table? That's what I'm searching for. How to tell the conditional formatting to look in a different table for the record that contains the field on which I wish to look at for formatting a field in the parent table.

[@599CD]

Join the other table in with a query then use that. Or try DLOOKUP. 599cd.com/Dlookup

In ACCESS 2007, conditional formatting is limited only to 3 conditions. How can I apply more than 3 conditions to format a field?

[@RicardoBarreraArellano]

I think, the best you can do is to add a new calculated field with those conditions and then you can format your data based on the new field. I hope you get it!

Can anyone tell how to exit when no validation is done. I mean after I put a validation on a field or make a field as required am not able to exit the field. I know that's the whole point of the required field. But what if I want to cancel data entry. With the required set to yes once I click the field, I can't go back. I left with only one option I.e. Force shut the program all together or enter anything and then go back and delete after it has been saved. If there is only one required field it's fairly easy but when there are lots it's time consuming as I have to fill all yhe fields and then go bavk and delete. Is there a way around this.

Just hit ESCape a few times.

I have conditional formatting turned on, but I want a checkbox that turns the formatting off/on in a subform. I can get the formatting to turn off, but not sure how to turn back on... Here's what I got so far in code builder:
Private Sub Check23_Click()
If Forms!FarmerPartsEditableF!Check23 = True Then
Me![FarmerPartsListT Subform].Form![Pulsation].FormatConditions.Delete
Else What Do I put here to turn it back on?
End If

[@599CD]

I wouldn't do it that way. Use the value of the checkbox in the CF expression.
