I have a continus form with lots of records, i need to highlight the
selected record so that its easiere to se whitch record is selected, i
thought about changing the background color for the selected record but i
cant seem to get it to work, has anyone any idea how to do this??

Many thanks,
Alain
 
If your version is Access 2000 or later, you can set the control backgrounds
to a different color when they get focus by using that choice in Conditional
Formatting. In the form's design view, select a control then go to Format
.... Conditional Formatting and choose "Field has focus" from the combo box.
Pick your background color or other format.
