Field highlight on a Continous Form

D

David C. Holley

Has anyone figured out how to highlight a single field on a single
record highlighted when using a continous form? I'm able to highlight a
field, but the field on *ALL* of the records is highlighted.

I've been playing with ConditionalFormating without success. I tried
using
[Forms]![frmReservations]![subfrmTransferGuests].Form.ActiveControl.Name
= "cboClient"
as an expression in a CF but evidently Access ignored it. (I'm assuming
that control properties are available when the CF is evaluated.)

I also tried an unbound control whose value is set to the control with
the focus, but quickly discoverd that while the expression worked and
the CF was applied, it was applied across the form. This lead me to
conclude that this approach would only work if I added a field to the
underlying table.

Ideas?
