Conditional formating problem

[lou via AccessMonster.com]

In the continuous form I programmed conditional formating ( when focus is set
change colour) on some fields. But later I noticed that such form doesn't
behave quite normally. For example calculated fields
don't show anything and the form sometimes doesn't lay through the whole
screen ( only partialy).
When I undo conditional formating everything is OK again. ANY IDEAS ??

No good ideas, but I do know that CF can take some time to
perform its tasks. If your CF expressiona are complicated
or you have applied it to a lot of text boxes, it may
interfere with painting the form and/or calculating control
expressions. If you'll explain in more detail about how
you're using CF, maybe someone come up with an idea to
improve things.

Nothing much to explain. I just used option Format->Conditional
Formating>Field has focus and programmed 3 to 4 fields in the form in that
way. (When field has focus it is coloured)

I don't see how that can mess over the form that way.
Maybe(?) there some other things going on that are taking
too much time?? If you have a Timer event running, that
might(?) confuse things??

I don't like to blame any misbehavior on corruption, but you
might want to try creating a new, blank database with all
your usual settings (e.g. NameAutoCorrect Off, References,
etc) and then importing everything.
