Question
In MS Access, is there a reason to prefer conditional formatting over setting formatting options with VBA? Is one more effecient or generally considered easier to read?
Solution
Conditional formatting works on continuous forms or subforms. VBA formatting doesn't work on continuous forms and subforms. Both work on standard forms.
OTHER TIPS
If you are familiar with Access or Excel but haven't used VBA, conditional formatting can be preferable because you don't have to learn nearly so much. I realize this answer is probably not applicable from the asker's point of view, but it may be important to someone with less knowledge generally.
