having whole line highlight

[Guest]

is there a way to have an entire line highlight when a cell within that line
is active?

Frank,
I think if the background of each control is Transparent, changing the
Detail Section Background color would make it look as though all control
backgrounds had changed.

You can down load a sample database that includes various uses for
shaded lines, including continuous form alternating lines and
highlighting the selected line.
