Change fill color of text field based on the value in another field

[grandmajulie11]

I have a form that has a field called Name. I want the background to change from white to pink if the Gender field says Female and Blue if the Gender says Male and to remain white if blank. I am absolutely a novice so it has to be in very simple to understand directions. Please Help Me.

--- Conditional Formating in forms (ACC2007)

--- Conditional Formatting for reports (ACC2010)

Acc2007/2010 for conditional formating are the same for forms; however, in ACC2010 there are a few more toys to play with in the report. You an acheive pretty much the same in ACC2007, just might take a bit more effort.
