How to change formatting on entry to a field
I use Access databases at work and sometimes the cursor gets lost in the
middle of the screen, so to speak. I have been scratching my head and looking and looking to see if there is any way to change (for instance) the background colour when the cursor enters a field so the current field stands out. My brain is tired, my eyes are watering - can anyone suggest a solution please? Thanks for reading this, even if you can't solve my dilemma!! |

How to change formatting on entry to a field
In that case I select all the textboxes and set a conditional formatting on
it. Choose the option "Field has focus". When you choose this you'll see that whenever you enter a field it will change colour and when exiting it will change to normal again. You choose an appropriate backgroundcolor for your textboxes. hth -- Maurice Ausum "Larfingboy" wrote: I use Access databases at work and sometimes the cursor gets lost in the middle of the screen, so to speak.
