Conditional Format

[Jim Franklin]

Hi,

Using A2K, Can anyone tell me if there is a way of using Conditional
Formatting to highlight the current record in a continous form (i.e. change
control back colour) without having an extra field in the recordsource
table? (I cannot have an extra field as it is a multi-user appl.) The
control will not have the focus so I cannot use this.

I have tried creating a built-in function and then using it in the
conditional format expression, but this does not seem to work. I thought you
could use built-in functions with C.F.?

Failing that, is there any other way of doing what I want?

Thanks for any help,

Jim F.

Hi Andy,

I did thanks. Unfortunately Paul Overway pointed out that using a field to
indicate the current record is going to get really messy if I have multiple
users on different screens accessing the same record. Thought I would try
and find another way. Can't believe that something so simple with a
datasheet is so difficult with a continuous form!

I'll have a look at Stephen Lebens page, thanks.

Curiously, I cannot see my own post on the newsgroup, only your reply, which
makes finding replies awkward. Does it look normal to you?
