Conditional formatting
Tim Elbert

I just finished the video on conditional formatting and it gave me some ideas for my product labels.  Will conditional formatting work on labels?  I tried a couple of things and it didn't seem to work so I was wondering if it will work or not before I continue to play around with it.

@ Tim I'm not sure which conditional formatting video you watched, as there are a few.
I peeked at this one and did something similar for labels:

I went into a Giveaway .accdb I'm preparing to explain dates and controlling queries and forms based on the dates,
and I created a quick label, showing in light red anyone with a birth date less than 2000-1-1.
It worked for me. But, I'm not sure what you were trying, if other than this example.

HI Kevin
I have tried a few things.  I am applying the conditonal formatting to the SoldLabelF Line11.  I have tried value = "PAID", I have tried Expression: [IsPaid],True but I am not getting any color change.

HI Thomas
I watched Access level 19.  Where did you apply the conditional formatting?  To the label report or the form?
