Change color of item thats in a combo drop down list

[Len Enry]

I have a drop down list in a combo box and one of the items in that list i want to make a different color to the default i am using.
Can i in properties, i presume, find a way to change the property of one particular item in the drop down list to stand out if/when chosen on the form

Thanks

You can do this with Conditional Formatting, assuming you're running Access 2000 or later. In Design View, select the combobox and goto Formatting - Conditional Formatting and then select

Field Value Is

Equal To

then enter the value that you wish to format on.

Now choose the formatting.

Click OK.
