[AccessD] Continuous form question

I'll send you his phone number if you would like to talk to him on my behalf
:)

The reason we would like to highlight changed cells is precisely so that
this large screen can easily be scanned for changes.  It's a shipping
scheduling screen - all the rows need to be showing because they depend on
each other.

What I've come up with is a second, change tracking, field in the table
which overlays the actual field in the form; when the actual field is
changed I put some characters in the overlay field which cause the cell to
appear with a red bar across the bottom.  It works, but as I said, it's ugly
to code.
