[SOLVED] MS Access 2007 - How to manage different formatting of controls on subform in continuous form mode?

MS Access 2007 - How to manage different formatting of controls on subform in continuous form mode?

I have an MS Access 2007 subform that is displaying data in continuous form mode. All controls on the subform are bound.

I want to change the colour of a combo box on that subform depending of the state of a checkbox on the same subform. i.e. User checks box - combo goes green. Box is unchecked - combo is orange.

Obviously the checkbox can be in a different state between records on the subform.

However when I change any formatting of the combo box according to one checkbox - the background colour changes for all combo boxes on each of the continuous forms in the subform regardless of the state of 'their' checkboxes! I get the same problem if I set combo.enabled = false - all instances of that combo are disabled.

Help! This must be a known issue. Is there a workaround? Any suggestions?

Thanks.
