[AccessD] Highlight field being edited in a continuous form.

I've never tried this way Scott -- there is a more complex way to get the
job done -- but if this works, great! ;)

Hey Scott
Hope this helps
Make the backcolor of the textbox yellow and make the back style
transparent.
As you arrow up and down the continous form the current textbox with the
focus will display in yellow.

before was to have a bound picture box in every record for the solid color I
wanted to use. This color was more of a status indicator for the whole
record - not a highlighter of an individual field. I said all that because I
believe it can't be done (in Access 97 anyway).
