Color Coding

I currently maintain an Safety Incident (accident) database in Excel and
Access. In Excel I can color code such items as Recordable in Red Text,
Property Damage in Blue Text, Lost Time with row highlighted in light green.
Can something like this be done in Access, so when I select Recordable that
it will automatically make my text red? I would like to eliminate the Excel
database if I can make this happen in Access. Thanks in Advance.

What version of Access are you using? Later versions have conditional
formatting available when you design your forms/reports (look in the Format
menu). Earlier versions require some code to do it.
