Conditional Formatting

Post by imincorrigible »

Hi all. I am using Access 2013 on a Windows 7 computer. If I select a control then press the conditional formatting button nothing happens. If I add conditional formatting to the quick Access bar and click it, the conditional formatting rules manager box comes up. Has anyone else seen this happened? Why would the conditional formatting button not work under the design format tab? Thank you in advance.

What happens if you select a text box or combo box, then press Alt J F O ?

Added: forget this, it probably won't help - see my next reply
Best wishes,

Have you collapsed the ribbon? The Conditional Formatting button on the Format tab of the ribbon only works if the ribbon is pinned. This is a bug.

Yes. I collapse the ribbon. I am glad it is a bug and not me. Thank you for the information.
