Hello,

I have an end user who would like the word "Software" to be a different color in a column, so that when she looks at a list it will stand out. Is there a way to do this automatically?

Thank you.

Dawn, if you have A2000 or newer, you can use Conditional Formatting. Open the Form in Design view, highlight the control you want to format, go to Format....Conditional Formatting on the Toolbar. The three boxes under Condition1 should read.

Condtion1
Field Value Is.......EqualTo......"Software"

and then select from the choices for formatting.
