[AccessD] Change back color of active control

First define the background color of the controls, then make the Back Style
property of your controls 'Transparent'. In doing so the controls will take
the color of the details section, but when they receive the focus they will
have a background according to what you set it to in the first step.

That maybe what you're thinking of. It works in A97 and A2k2, and I don't
see why it should not also work with A2k3, but you never know with MS :-)

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
