Highlighting a specific record

[Guest]

Using Access 2003,

I'm currently using a form that displays records in a horizontal row
fashion. I have a transparent button overlaying all the records that opens a
record-specific popup when you double click it. I would like the entire
record to be "highlighted" with a single click to show the user what record
they're on. Is this possible? Is there a better way of going about all this?

As always, TIA

The very simplest way to identify the selected row is to set the form's
RecordSelectors property to Yes. The selected row then has a triangle
pointer at the left of the record.

If you prefer, Stephen Lebans explains how to highlight the current row
here:

Allen,

I'm actually using conditional formatting now. I thought there might be a
"cleaner" way of doing it. Some activex control or something I was missing.
Thanks for the verification!
