[AccessD] Highlighting a record in a form

Hi Thomas,

How about using Conditional Formatting?

For each control in your continuous form, set conditional formatting to
change the background color if say, [RecordID] = 5 Or [RecordID] = 8.

You could also have different colors for row 5 and for row 8.

HTH!

Subject: [AccessD] Highlighting a record in a form

I'd prefer to do this in datasheet view, but I can use continuous form 
with the fields shown horizontally.

Is there a way to simply tell Access to highlight the 5th record? Not 
every fifth record (although that would be okay, since there are only 8); 
just the fifth. The data comes from a table I create via a make table 
query, so I can control exactly what goes where. I need records 5 & 8 
highlighted n the form. That's all. Seems easy, but I can't seem to get 
it. Feel free to make me feel even more stupid by suggesting an easy 
solution.

TIA.
