How do I flag important items in an access database?

[Guest]

I am trying to flag important items in access and don't know how to go about
it. Please help!!
Thanks

You'll need to add a column to the table. You can then use that column to
identify important items.

Hi mandm...

Not quite sure what you are getting at here... perhaps you could provide
some more information...

I guess you could always have a yes/no field with a checkbox control that
you could tick if something is important...??

You can use 'conditional formatting' to change the color of a control based
on its contents. E.g. an amount field could be made to be black if positive,
or red if negative.
