Hello. I am looking at a continuous form in that could make the user a bit
confused. (it is a tough one look for it-but its what they wanted) So, to
soften the blow, I am wondering if there is a way to alternate the continuous
form with some color? Is it possible? If so, I do I get started?
Thanks to those who respond.

See:
http://www.lebans.com/conditionalformatting.htm
A2KConditionalFormatting.zip is a sample MDB demonstrating how to
programmatically setup Conditional Formatting to simulate:

1) Highlighting of the Current Row for a Form in Continuous or Datasheet
View
2) Highlighting of Alternate Rows for a Form in Continuous or Datasheet
View

OR

AlternateColorDetailSection.zip is a class to allow for alternate bands
of color for Forms in Continuous View.

Hi,

This sounds really promising indeed.

I have downloaded the example database, opened it in Access 2003.

All the forms work fine and i must admit this functionality is great.

But one form in particular is a bit spooky. The "CusContinuous" form. When i
look into the form event, i can see no Load event or no other event/piece of
code which would make the conditionnal formatting work !

I would need to pick code up to include into my form.

I wonder if it's got something to do with my version of access (2003).

thanks in advance for your help.
