  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

  after you have released the mouse button, the code provided by me
  earlier, ensures continued highlighting of such records in a special
  color, till the selection gets undone (e.g. user clicking on any
  control).

  follows:

    >         (b) Multiple records at a time - Click on record selector of
  top desired record and drag the mouse to record selector of bottom
  desired record. (Alternatively, you can hold down shift key and then
  click the record selector for bottom desired record, or use Dn Arrow key to expand the selection suitably).
    >         Note - Using Up/Dn arrow keys alone, when a group of records is already in selected state, moves the whole selection mask
  accordingly.

  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.
