Thanks for that Jimmy, I have been looking every where else for the solution.
But I am not sure where or why it was not appearing now. Just over sight I guess.

Have you tried choosing is blank from the dropdown box?

With conditional formatting how do I check a blank field

In the conditional format, you enter a field, an operator and a value. I am having trouble with entering a null string.

If I enter "". on the final display """" appears, and on running the process, and the field is empty, the expected process does not occur.

Is there a special code for a null string?

I may have found the only solution.
And that is to select the field to be tested, first, then select expression. The right Dialog box will then show the correct format.
