Default Conditional formatting won't work

Access database

I created a report with conditional formatting, when the amount is equal to
zero it should be yellow. I have 12 boxes all with the same formatting
conditions. Four of the boxes even though they are numeric zeros will not
turn yellow.

Is it possible that the values are not zero, but near zero?

Try setting the criteria to between -.000001 and .000001 and see if you get
the yellow formatting.
