Hi,

I have a date field that I would like to have it flash when the date is 2
days past todays date.

I went in design view and in properties and under format I see not
conditional format to select. How do I set this up?

Please Help
 
You don't. "Flashing" is not a supported option.

You could build code in the form's timer event and you'd have to test the
date to see if it was past. If so then set the visible property to the
opposite of what it is (or change the color, or the background) or whatever
you want to happen.
 
How would I do this? Would the code have to be connected to the current date
on the computer so it would know when to flash? In other words if I have a
date of 08/06/2005 + 2 it would flash on 08/08/2005. When you said the forms
timer event where is that?
