Hiding Fields on Continous Form

D

DS

I have two fields on my continous form. Depending on a condition I need
one or the other field to show. The problem is that when one or the
other shows it shows for every record not just the current record. Any
way around this?
Thanks

That's the nature of continuous forms. You might take a look at conditional
formatting.

I tried that but I have fields that are disabled and locked.
Conditional formatting lets the user go into the field.

Marsh I generally reccommend that the CF for this background TextBox
control be applied programmatically via the FormatConditions object in
the Form's Load event. There is a bug when you setup CF via its UI that
will Enable the TextBox control, even if you have set it to Disabled in
the CF UI.
Sample code is here:
