    MacroBuilder exercise asks me to click Condition in the Show/Hide Group on Design Contextual Tab

    I am doing an exercise in preparation for teaching a class and it asks that I click Condition in the Show/Hide group of the Design contextual tab for Macro Builder. I have tried with both MS Access 2010 and 2013 and there is no Condition in the Show/Hide group. I looked to see if I could modify the ribbon and add the command, but could not find it. Steps followed:


    1. Open Form in design view
    2. In the property sheet, select the Before Update event and click the Build button
    3. Select Macro Builder and click OK
    4. Enter the conditions in the macro. In the Show/Hide group, click Conditions

    One thing I noticed was that it didn't specify an action to set, before setting the conditions.

    I suspect your instructions are from 2007 or earlier. The macro builder changed considerably with 2010, where you would use the Program Flow area to create a condition.

    You are right. The exercise is written for 2007. I am doing a one on one lesson and I think the client has Office 2007. I like to run through the exercises first, so maybe I'll have to wait for this one. Thanks for the quick response.
