Could someone please tell me if there is a command I can put in On Got Focus
to make the field "light up" when tabbed to? Thanks!

Me!TextBoxName.BackColor = vbYellow

You would need to use LostFocus to change it back.

An alternative is to make all controls a contrasting color compared to the form
and then set them to transparent. The transparent setting is ignored for the
control with focus so you get automatic highlighting with no code.
