Conditional formatting
How do I use conditional formatting to change the fill color whenever the
field on a form has any data in it. What I mean is the fill color is grey when there is no data in the field, I already used conditional formatting to change the fill color to a darker shade of grey when the field has focus, what I also want to do is change the fill color to yellow after data has been entered. The three choices are field value is, field has focus, and Expression is. The field values are mostly different so I cannot use Field value is and specify a certain criteria every time.

Would a "Field value is" set to Not Null mean something was in the field?
