hide/show fields on continuous forms

I have a subform. It has a couple of fields to identify which record is
being displayed. But then, it has 3 check boxes. I need to make one or two
of the checkboxes become not visible based on criteria within the record
source for each record in the continuous form. If I put logic in the On
Current handler to accompolish this, it hides the appropriate fields, but
also does so for the same fields on every other record displayed. Is there a
way around this?
 
Not directly. You would have to use a TextBox to simulate a CheckBox and
apply Conditional Formatting to the TextBox.
Your direction really goes against the standard WIndows UI practices.
Instead of hiding the controls simply DISABLE them via
ConditionalFormatting.
