[mso] Conditional Format skips filed in Access 2000?

If I conditionally format a field to match its background with empty, and
change to a red background with white bold characters, it works the first
time.

Assume I have a field called "Alert" and conditional format it this way:
1. If empty, gray background, gray lettering
2. If not empty, red background, white characters

I can type in something, and it sticks. It displays as white on red. Now
here is the problem: If I erase the contents of the field, save it, open it
later and try to tab to that field, it skips it. Thinking the conditional
format was the cause of it, I removed the conditional format. The field is
still being skipped in the Form. I would like to be able to get to that
field via tabbing *with* conditional format, but Access isn't behaving that
way.

My book doesn't seem to address this. Is this anything anyone has heard of
before?

Thank you.

Robert
