Conditional formatting question

Hi,

I have a quick question. Is there an option for conditional formatting in access 97? or is it only for access 2000 or higher? I need to change font color in access 97 report depending on the value. Thank you

Condiotional Formatting is not built in with Access 97. You would have to resort to VBA code instead.

Here is an example of what the VBA code might look like. The background color property was used for illustrative purposes., If you wanted to change the font color, you would change the foreground color (ForeColor) property.

5.                 RGB(150, 150, 200)
6.         Case 11 To 40
