More than 3 conditional formats for a single control?

Thank you for the reply. Here is what I'm trying to do:
I need to base the color of a rectangle on the data in a text box.
If the value of "avgStatus" is between 1-2 the rectagle needs to be red,
If the value of "avgStatus" is between 2-3 the rectagle needs to be blue,
If the value of "avgStatus" is between 3-4 the rectagle needs to be green,
If the value of "avgStatus" is between 4-5 the rectagle needs to be purple,
If the value of "avgStatus" is between 5-6 the rectagle needs to be yellow,
The problem is the the conditional formating limits you to 3 conditions. Any help would be excellent. Thanks.
Cheers.

Hi,
Sorry - this ain't possible:
You are saying if status is between 1 and 2 then colour is red, if it is between 2 and 3 colour is blue.
According to the above, the colour can be either red or blue if value is 2: which is it if value is 2?

Hi there,
This may seem crude, but should work. You could overlay several textboxes, one for each colour. Set all the textboxes properties:
[tt]
FontName: Webdings
FontSize: 77 (large)
Background: Transparent
ForeColor: (one color for each textbox)
[/tt]
Then for each textbox, set the ControlSource property:
[tt]
=Iif([avgStatus] >=1 AND [avgStatus] <2,"gggggggggggggg",""
[/tt]
That is, use the forecolor of textboxes for the different colours. The 'g' character of Webdings gives a solid square 'character' - you just need enough of them to fill the textbox.
Hope this helps,
Cheers.

Obviously I don't know your controls, but here's a thought.
Using the Switch function, could you say "if the status is between 1.00 and 2.00 it's red", and "if the status is between 2.01 and 3.00 it's blue", etc.
Maybe. Maybe not. You will know by your controls.
