Conditional formatting of detail section in an access form
I'm stuck in the following problem:
- Access 2003 - Form in datasheet view (tabular form) - Want to format (change the background color of) details section based on a value of a text box contained in it using VBA - Can't find where to put a statement like: Me.Section(acDetail).Backcolor = vbWhite so that the background would be colored correspondingly. The coloration appears only when the condition is met on the first record (row) shown and it spreads over all records (rows) I want to have the right color in those rows only where the condition is met. TIA for help

Conditional formatting of detail section in an access form
Hello Tom and thanks for your answer.
I've tried Help before but I couldn't find the answer. In Help it's all about changing the formatting properties *of the control based on its value*. What I want is to change a formatting property of the whole details section where the control is (based on the control's value of course). E.g. if a text box shows a negative value I want the whole detail section to show in red not just the text in the textbox. It's simple to change the color of the details section in VBA, but where do I have to put Me.Section(acDetail).Backcolor = vbRed so that it will be "executed" for the row where the textbox with negative value is situated.

Conditional formatting of detail section in an access form
Tom,
not very happy :-(, but thanks anyway :-). I was wondering if moving the focus through the records (and by it through rows in datasheet) could somehow help. I'll give it a try.
