[AccessD] Changing colors on many controls on one Form

John,

You could use Conditional Formatting.

First, select all the controls (must be textboxes or comboboxes).  Then,
under Formatting, select Conditional Formatting (you need to get into
Conditional Formatting this way for many controls at once.)

Use the 'Field has Focus' option, select a background color, and OK.  This
sets up the background color for all the selected controls at once.  

Conditional formatting has many other options as well.

Good morning all
 
I've just been asked by a user if the backcolor can be changed when that  
control has got focus and changes back to original when it looses focus.
Yeah  
thats OK I can handle that no problems. But with 30+ controls going to each

control and adding one line of code to change the backcolor and change  it
back 
on each got and lost focus property is a pain. And next week the  user will
ask 
"can we have a different color".
 
This job labour intensive so is there a more elegant approach to this
simple 
but boring job??
 
TIA
