Conditional Formatting a Date
Hi All,
I have a contiuous form with a date field "AppointmentDate" with back style set to Transperant, which is over an unbound text box "AppointmentColour". I would like to have "AppointmentColour" change to amber when "AppointmentDate" = minus 1 day and change to red when "AppointmentDate" = today Example: When "AppointmentDate" is 22-04-2010 "AppointmentColour" becomes amber on 21-04-2010 "AppointmentColour" becomes red on 22-04-2010 I have tried using Expression Is [AppointmentDate]=DateAdd("d",-1,Date) and many other variations but no success. Could someone please correct my error. Thanking you in Advance Bazmac

Could someone please correct my error. Thanking you in Advance Bazmac In Access you must include the () when using the Date() function. [AppointmentDate]=DateAdd("d",-1,Date()) and the expression needs to go in the AppointmentColor Conditional Formatting. The () is not necessary in VBA. -- Fred Please respond only to this newsgroup.
