[AccessD] [EXTERNAL] Re: Need a Trick for conditional formatting

[Shane Groff]

Still not available in current versions of Access.  Seems like a good candidate to put on the feedback portal (https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/818e3b49-e61b-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472)

Also, obligatory reminder that Office 2010 is completely out of support and is no longer receiving security updates. You and your clients should move to a more recent version of Office.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [AccessD] Need a Trick for conditional formatting

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.
