[AccessD] Conditional Formatting

What's happening is that every time you set the background color in
conditional formatting, the Back Style property of the text box will revert
to 'Normal', even if you had it set to 'Transparent'.

So do the conditional formatting first, then set the textbox formatting in
the property list, and then it should look pretty good.

Good Luck!

As far as my experience goes, your scrolling behaviour is normal.  My
impression is that the conditional formatting is applied after the form is
fully loaded.  I had so much trouble with screen flickering in Access 2000
that I didn't use conditional formatting, but in 2003 it seems to be OK.
That may just be due to faster processors/graphics cards.

I've also found that it's difficult to keep a conditionally formatted
textbox transparent - the default always seems to be white.
