Rocky -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AccessD] Textbox special highlighting From: Doug Steele <dbdoug at gmail.com> Date: Mon, January 02, 2012 5:13 pm To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Hello all: I would like to have a consistent method of highlighting textboxes so that a user knows that double clicking will result in the display of more information. Ideally, it wouldn't involve changing the background or foreground colour, as I use these with conditional formatting for displaying other information (order quantity is greater than on-hand quantity, for instance). Changing the border colour or thickness results in some very ugly grid displays. The ability to put a little triangle in one corner of the textbox would be ideal - the way Excel does for comments. Does anyone have a brilliant solution?
