MS Access Forum / Forms Programming / February 2007Displaying specific columns on a continuous style form`
Is there a way to code a continuous style form so that specific records in the list will trigger other records to either be visible or not as the rows build down the form? I have two examples where I need to selectively highlight textboxes on a continuous style form but have only been successful in either having those textboxes be either on or off. Are you asking about conditional formatting of certain textboxes based on their value? If so, use the conditional formatting routine. If not, could you explain further what you are trying to accomplish?

Conditional Formatting? Basically, I have a Continuous style form that has text boxes on it. The user enters specific criteria in one of those boxes and based on that criteria another text box hides or shows on the form. However, if this where to be a new record the hidden text box might not need to be seen. So would the conditional formating routine still work with this situation? > Are you asking about conditional formatting of certain textboxes based on > their value?

With conditional formatting, by creating an expression, you can change the formatting and disable a textbox based on the value in another textbox, but you can't hide it. That is a limitation of continuous forms. With a regular form, you could put visible properties in the Current event as the user goes thru the records.
