<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am attempting to use conditional formatting on fields in a continuous form, but the conditional formatting only works when the field has the focus. When I click on the field, it selects the correct conditional formatting, but when I change to a different field, the conditional formatting turns off. I do not have conditional formatting set to &quot;Field has Focus&quot;. Is there a setting I'm missing? I am using MS Access 2010 &amp;&nbsp;2013. Thanks!<br />

Conditional Formatting only works when control has focus

I am attempting to use conditional formatting on fields in a continuous form, but the conditional formatting only works when the field has the focus. When I click on the field, it selects the correct conditional formatting, but when I change to a different field, the conditional formatting turns off. I do not have conditional formatting set to &amp;quot;Field has Focus&amp;quot;. Is there a setting I&amp;#39;m missing? I am using MS Access 2010 &amp;amp; 2013. Thanks!



Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
