Question : Continuous Forms colour change by time

Hi EE
I have a Continuous Forms as a sub form. It works fine and is basicaly a form that shows 'Today's Tasks'
I have designed the form so it shows on one row the date the time to and from the subject and the notes.

I want the form to show the back colour of a field in red if the time has past and if the time is in the furure then the back colour is yellow.

I have tried using VBA on the form open event but that doesnt work

Any Ideas

Hello andybrooke,

In a continuous form, you should use Conditional Formatting:
