for anyone who might needed.

thanks for your attention
Got it to go this time.

luis - Thanks for posting the link.  I'll give this a shot myself, as I've been able to do this on reports for awhile now, but not with forms.

There is another way of doing this too:
make the Record source of your Form a Query,
In the Query make a field that generats Serial number, lets call it Serial1
Now in the SubForm/Datasheet, use conditional Formating, if Int([Serial1])=[Serial1], then you can do your Formating,
but this method applied to each field individually, so you will have to apply the conditioanl formating to all the fields.
