conditional formatting

[Guest]

I am so happy I found this forum! I have learned so much through readig
everyone's postings and responses. Anyhow, I hope someone can answer my
question...

I have a form created to house student records. I have 18 seperate fields on
my form (including a field for active / inactive that indicates if a student
is of course active or inactive) I would like all 18 fields to appear in bold
and red when the status field indicates inactive. Can anyone explain how or
if I can do this?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Open the form in design view, select a control, from the menu select format,
then conditiional formatting, change the condition to Expression is, enter
your expersion (ex: [active_inavctive] = "Inactive") and the set the format
you want. You can then use the format painter to put the same conditional
format on all the other controls.

No problem. It is the same for reports also.
