[AccessD] Need a Trick for conditional formatting

[Rocky Smolin]

I considered that ploy, having used to to advantage on single forms. But
this is a continuous form, so I thought to use conditional formatting which
would have worked except...Problem here is that in Access 2010 (which I
still develop in to avoid reference conflicts when developing in a later
version than my client) conditional formatting (which I need to use because
it's a continuous form) does not provide a visible/invisible option.
Although I think later versions of Access do.

Tks
