Conditional Formatting Error

[tulikapuri]

I am trying to add more than three conditional formatting conditions such that
If the Moisture values is > 3.5 it turns the text box = Red
is between 2.35 - 3.25 , the text box = Green
is > 3.25 and < 3.5 = Yellow
is < 2.35 and >2.10 = Yellow
is < 2.10 = Red
How can i write a Code for the same ?

I tried this code but it asks me for the text range, can someone help me resolve this issue please ?

Select Case Me![txtRange]
  Case Is > 3.5
     Me![txtMoisture Values].ForeColor = vbRed
  Case 2.35 To 3.5
     Me![txtMoisture Values].ForeColor = vbGreen
  Case 2.10 To 2.34
     Me![txtMoisture Values].ForeColor = vbYellow
  Case Is < 2.1
     Me![txtMoisture Values].ForeColor = vbRed
  Case Else
     Me![txtMoisture Values].ForeColor = vbBlack
End Select

Why not just use the conditional formatting wizard?

[txtRange] should be [txtMoistureValu es]

As previously stated on several occassions, [txtRange] and [txtMoisture Values] are Field names that I used solely for demonstration purposes. You must substitute your own Field Names.

Hope that helps!

I've had this problem before. If I remember correctly the value in the textboxes have to be converted to Double precision using CDbl before the Select case can deal wiith them as decimal fractions.

Me![txtRange].Value = CDbl(Me![txtRange])
Me![txtMoistureLevels].Value = CDbl(Me![txtMoistureLevels])
 
Select Case Me![txtRange]

-----------

It might be worth a try here.

Me![txtRange].Value = CDbl(Me![txtRange])
Me![txtMoistureLeve ls].Value = CDbl(Me![txtMoistureLeve ls])

We initially went over this ground where Moisture Values and Range were stored internally as SINGLE Precision Numbers. The Text Boxes referring to these Fields should return Variants of SubType SINGLE which should not pose any problem with the Select Case Statement. It is a very good point that definately should be double checked.
