Displaying specific columns on a continuous style form`

[Guest]

Is there a way to code a continuous style form so that specific records in
the list will trigger other records to either be visible or not as the rows
build down the form?

I have two examples where I need to selectively highlight textboxes on a
continuous style form but have only been successful in either having those
textboxes be either on or off.

Are you asking about conditional formatting of certain textboxes based on
their value? If so, use the conditional formatting routine. If not, could
you explain further what you are trying to accomplish?

Conditional Formatting?

Basically, I have a Continuous style form that has text boxes on it. The
user enters specific criteria in one of those boxes and based on that
criteria another text box hides or shows on the form. However, if this where
to be a new record the hidden text box might not need to be seen.

So would the conditional formating routine still work with this situation?

With conditional formatting, by creating an expression, you can change the
formatting and disable a textbox based on the value in another textbox, but
you can't hide it. That is a limitation of continuous forms. With a
regular form, you could put visible properties in the Current event as the
user goes thru the records.
