Display in form

[Guest]

Here's a simple question. I have a field in my form that displays a the
amount of time (in days) till something is due. It displays negative numbers
for things that are passed its due date. I was wondering how can I display
the negative numbers in red, so they are more easily visable? Thanks.

You can use conditional formatting to cause the text to display red if the
value is less than 0.

There are no commands to input.
Open your form in design view.
Select the control you want to format.
From the menu, select Foramt, Conditional Formatting
You will get a dialog box that is pretty easy to follow from there.
