Color specific rows of a subform
Hello guys,
In access 2002, I have a formular and a subform associated and I would like to color certain rows of the subform in function of a special features (and not only a simple criteria, which supposes just choosing conditionnal presentation).
The application: my presentation shows a course list from the same table, I would like to color courses which appear in an another table (called course_selection).
Hoping I have been clear,
Thanks is advance!

Thanks for your help guys. I am currently studying all the options. First, the one from JDettman:
I have openned the file but i don't see the link between the color of the item OleBound04 whose source is colorbitmap while it must be connected to the value Colokey or dsiplay override.
If I identified where the function which set the color and the request update, but i cant see the link beetween the control background and the color specified in tables.
I am sure I miss something basic in Access.
Otherwise, i am trying the simplest solution proposed by Fyed: It looks good if only i had not a syntax error that may be you could fix:
I made a function Determine_Color(id as integer, year as integer) as Boolean
i write this in expression: Determine_Color([courseid]
courseid and year are the field of the subform.
DatabaseMX, i will test your class tomorrow!

The trick of fyed works perfectly and is enough for my application (i forgott to put semi colon instead of colons for separating parameters). Thanks for your help guys!

Mark the records in a query with a field say Key1 (-1 = True or 0 = False) for the records in both tables. Then use Conditional Formatting on your form to highlight records where Key1 = -1.
