[AccessD] Highlight field being editedinacontinuousform-in9simplesteps. - maybe too simple?

No worries :@) That's what I thought initially. I did a simple form and
tried it out. Only the field in the current row that has the focus
changes colour. I don't recall if this is how previous versions of
Access behaved, but I do remember several years ago coming across the
same problem and, if I remember correctly, a similar solution to the one
mentioned earlier (the 9 steps bit). Only the control with the focus
changes colour, not all of the ones in the same row or column...

Mark
PS - my memories clearing a bit... The problem I came across before was
how to make alternate rows in a continuous form different colours. The
solution looked similar, no idea where I saw it though.

Sorry Mark. Surely on a continuous form all records are affected,
whereas the requirement was to highlight only the current row. If this
does that I'll stand corrected and don't see how.
