[AccessD] Select Multiple records on form

A.D.:

>> Sample db ContFormsKeyNavAndHighLightMultiSelect is now available at
Rogers Access Library (other developers library). 
  
I tried it, and it works as advertized. There is about a 1/2 second
delay on my machine for highlighting. Scrolling drops the highlights,
but they re-appear after about a half-second (but this is typical
Conditional Formatting behaviour)

Mark,

    Sample db ContFormsKeyNavAndHighLightMultiSelect is now available at
Rogers Access Library (other developers library). Link -
http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/OtherLibraries.asp#Tejpal,A.D.
 
    It would be helpful if on opening the db, you first go through the
tips (click the command button captioned "Show Tips").
 
Best wishes,
A.D.Tejpal

  A.D

  Thanks...I must have done something wrong...when I click on a
record...it is selected for about 3 seconds and then the formatting
"goes away", simply put.  If I use a smaller recordset...I don't see the
formatting at all.  I will check out the example.

  Thanks Again,

  Mark A. Matte

color, till the selection gets undone (e.g. user clicking on any
control).

sample db mentioned in my previous post. It is in Access 2000 file
format and is working smoothly on Access 2003 installation. On Access
2K, time lag is encountered as stated earlier, but results are
consistent.
