conditional format

[Jim Franklin]

Hi,

Using A2K, Can anyone tell me if there is a way of using Conditional
Formatting to highlight the current record in a continous form (i.e. change
control back colour) without having an extra field in the recordsource
table? (I cannot have an extra field as it is a multi-user appl.) The
control will not have the focus so I cannot use this.

I have tried creating a built-in function and then using it in the
conditional format expression, but this does not seem to work. I thought you
could use built-in functions with C.F.?

Failing that, is there any other way of doing what I want?

Thanks for any help,

Jim F.

Hi Andy,

I did thanks. Unfortunately Paul Overway pointed out that using a field to
indicate the current record is going to get really messy if I have multiple
users on different screens accessing the same record. Thought I would try
and find another way. Can't believe that something so simple with a
datasheet is so difficult with a continuous form!

I'll have a look at Stephen Lebens page, thanks.

Curiously, I cannot see my own post on the newsgroup, only your reply, which
makes finding replies awkward. Does it look normal to you?

Hi everyone, i have been looking for this in several places and still no luck.
What i want is the ASP document to display different colors depending on the
value loaded from the database.

I have a table in wich i ask the database for a value wich is the number of
posts that that person has. Now i want that number to be displayed in a
different color depending on the value:

1-5 = Blue
6-10 = yellow
11-15 = orange
16+ = Red

To be honest i am not programmer or developer, i guide myself with tutorials
that i find on the web, the only tuts i have found are related to Grids.

I hope somebody can help me with this, seriously, i have been 2 days trying to
find how to do it.

Thanks in Advance
