[AccessD] Conditional formatting on combo box

oops, I read your post wrong.

I thought you were asking to format the fields of a form's row, as in
a continuous form, based on a combo box value.

What you're asking can't be done. I've been wanting combos and
listboxes to have this abbility for a while.

But instead MS gives us a Ribbon. :)
