Some things to check:
1. Look at the field properties before entry, after entry and once
you've removed an entry - particularly the 'can edit' and 'enabled' and
'tab stop' properties - are they changing?
2. Check the tab order on the form.
If all your conditional formatting is doing is changing the colour
properties, this should not lead to a diabling of the control, which
seems to be what you're describing.
I'm curious as to why you change the text colour to grey in conditions
when there will never be text to display - why not just leave it white?

Subject: [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
