    Hello:

    I would like to create a conditional format for a database that I created, In the column titled “response” I created a “check box” when checked I would like the row to be highlighted yellow, is this at all possible? If yes, could someone be so kind to assist me.

    Company Name, First Name, Last Name, Job Title, Address, Suite, City, Province, Postal Code, Work Number, Fax Number, Email, Website, Employees, Response, Date of Contact,

    Thank you,

      You can use Conditional formatting on either a form or report

      The Condition would be

      Response=True

      Then choose the colour

      However, you cannot colour the Background of the Detail Band using Conditional Formatting, only the field background.

      IF you wanted to colour the background yellow the only way would be to
      run code on the On Format Event of the detail band
      BUT this would only work on a report because on a tabular form all rows would go yellow or white
      depending upon which row you clicked in.

      The code would be

      Code:
      If response = true then
      	detail.backcolor=vbyellow
      else
      	detail.backcolor=vbwhite
      end if

      Andrew is right with respect to reports, but you can do something similar in forms.
      Check out this sample database provided by Hans many moons ago.
      This should give you some ideas.

        This should give you some ideas.

        It does have the effect, but my point was that you cannot use the On Current Event in the same way that you can
        use On Format in Reports.

        Hans Solution uses a textbox (field type) control enabled and locked and quite a lot
        of code running in the background.

        However taking Hans Disabled, Locked Text box concept.

        You could just put one big unbound textbox over the whole detail band.
        Set it to be At the back.
        Then place the other data controls (transparent) on top.

        Finally put Conditional Formatting on the Rear Unbound Control
        For Response = True Yellow otherwise Same Colour as background (cannot be Transparent)

        See My Attached Example

      Hello AndrewKKWalker, Pat, Genii:

      First, I have a table, not a report or a form; could my highlight request still work with the info provided by Hans. In the “Response” column, I have set this column up a check box. “IF” I check the box in the response column, then it should highlight that particular connecting row. Is this possible?

      Andrew, I took a look at Hans sample, that is exactly what I have created, but when checked, I need to show a specific colour.

      In Excel I have the following in the conditional format =$L42=1, =$L42=2, =$L42=3 this small formula allows me to change the rows into 3 different colours; depending on the outcome from perspective clients.

      I do not believe that the above formula can be recreated in Access.

      Thank you so much for your help everyone

In the “Response” column, I have set this column up a check box. “IF” I check the box in the response column, then it should highlight that particular connecting row. Is this possible?

      Andrew, I took a look at Hans sample, that is exactly what I have created, but when checked, I need to show a specific colour.

      In Excel I have the following in the conditional format =$L42=1, =$L42=2, =$L42=3 this small formula allows me to change the rows into 3 different colours; depending on the outcome from perspective clients.

      I do not believe that the above formula can be recreated in Access.

      Thank you so much for your help everyone

      Hello AndrewKKWalker, Pat, Genii:

      First, I have a table, not a report or a form; could my highlight request still work with the info provided by Hans. In the “Response” column, I have set this column up a check box. “IF” I check the box in the response column, then it should highlight that particular connecting row. Is this possible?

      You cannot apply conditional formatting to Tables and Query Datasheets.

      Only to Forms and Reports.

      Hello Andrew:

      At this point then, I should just import the table into an existing spreadsheet. Thanks to all who responded.
