[AccessD] Conditional formatting on combo box

Sorry, but that isn't possible with the built in combo box.  The
built-in combo box is populated by a string, with a delimiter to
indicate line breaks.  No way to format anything but the entire
control.  I wouldn't recommend different formats in rows anyhow.  You
could, of course, make the ENROLLED all caps to distinguish form Not
Entrolled, which would serve the same purpose..
