[AccessD] Change back color of active control

Joe,

You're probably thinking of Conditional Formatting.  It works for textboxes
and comboboxes.

Right-click a control and select Conditional Formatting.  One of the
selections is 'Field Has Focus'.  Select that and then select the background
color you want.

Subject: [AccessD] Change back color of active control

 

In earlier versions of access there was a form that would
automatically change the back ground of the active control.
In A 2k3 is there such a form or am I hand coding this in?

 

Thanks
