background color when tabing

C

carau

when working in a form and entering data, how do you set it up so whenever
you tab to the next entry box, that that box will be highlighted while
entering data...then when you tab to the next box, the highlight will move to
that box and so on.

Assuming Access 2000 or later: In Design View, select all textboxes, goto
Format - Conditional Formatting and under Condition 1 select "Field has focus.
" Then got to the Background color (the Paint Bucket icon) and choose the
color you want.
