Conditional formatting is not possible in Access 97 or earlier.

The one thing you can do is change the Format of a Number type field: one
value/color for negative, one for positive, and one for zero. In this way,
you can create a flag that changes contents and color, depending on the data
in another field.

Example, assuming you want to show marker beside the records where
InvoiceDate is more than 60 days ago:

Control Source: =(Date() - [InvoiceDate] > 60)
Format: [Blue]\A;[Red]\Z

I don't think it can change the background colour as well.
Certainly works to flag the rows visually though.

BTW, I assume we are talking continuous forms here?
In Form view, you can use the Current event of the form to set the BackColor
property of your controls.
