if Empty bound field then change the style of the textbox

[Guest]

well i am using bound fields in my access form. now the problem is this i use
this form as preview mode for reporting. now i want that if any field is
null or empty then the style of the textbox should be changed...

Try this:
Add the following private sub in event "On Current" on your Form
me.textbox.visible = True 'Set textboxvisible before check if data is
present in all fields
If me.fieldName1 is null or If me.fieldname2 is null then me.textbox.visible
= False
This will make your textbox unvisible if any of the two fields are null

nopes, my form is in preview mode. so oncurrent event not works for me.

Why dont you use a report for reporting instead? Then you can change the the
way the text in textbox looks by checking the data in the fields.

The report doesnt open in the form as a subreport. so i have to use the form
as in preview mode as a reporting tool.
basically i wanted to show the report as a subreport in the form so that i
can control the report...like runtime reports on button click (by categories
etc)
any idea???

Sorry.
Maybe you should move your question to the "Report" part of the group?
