Hi Bruce, Can't help with the home address! I would first try to rule out that something has happened to your PC. Put your database on another PC to see what happens. Do you have any other databases that use conditional formatting? Then on your PC, create a new small database and then see if conditional formatting works. You can try importing a couple of your objects to a new database. I use conditional formatting quite a bit but haven't seen this problem. Long term, conditional formatting can be established through code. This would hopefully reset your forms/reports even if your PC did this again. Hope this helps - and good luck!

After 6 weeks work of setting conditional formats over 32 tables, 65 forms and 12 reports I accidentally hit ctl-leftshift-alt-prtscn-scratchnose which produced a "YOUAREGOINGINTOHIGHRESOLUTIONMODE" popup, with apparently NO WAY TO CANCEL IT! Guess what, all the conditional formats are now black-on-defaultbackground. Recovered the backup taken 30 minutes ago, still the same. Went back to this mornings backup, still the same. Changed the display mode back to normal XP defaults, ... still the same. 1. Has anyone got any idea how to fix this? 2. Can anyone give me the home address of the M$ MORON who did this to me? -- regards Bruce -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
