Conditional formatting not quite working

I have a form that is generated by a query. The query is populated via
table.

I want all values in the report that are over 1.99% to show up as red.
Those values at 1.99% and lower should show up as green. IOW, percent
values from 0 to 1.99% are good values and show green. Anything at 2%
and over is bad, and should show up as red.

I've created conditinal formatting in several different ways, using
the options available under conditional formatting. It seems that no
matter what I select, greater than, equal to, etc, all the values
change to whatever the cond format is supposed to be.

Just seems the cond formating is not evaluating each value.

Should this be placed into the query somehow? Kind of confused on
this one. Thought it would be straight forward formatting.

Gee, you posted the same question just 2 1/2 hours ago. That's not a
lot of time to wait for someone to reply. We're all just volunteers
here with busy lives, just like you.
Perhaps if you had included in your message your exact conditional
formatting expression someone might have been willing to reply to the
specifics of your case, rather than take the time to respond in a
general way.

You're trying to color the control in a Report so that's where the
conditional formatting is done.

Sounds as though you are using Field Value Is to determine the
formatting rather than Expression Is. But then, I can't see your
computer so that's as a guess.

What are the actual field values used to represent the 1.99% in the
report?
0.0199?

Perhaps if you use Expression Is you will get a better result.

First Set the control color to Green.
Then:
Condition1
Expression Is
[ControlName] > 0.0199
Select the Red color
