Hi Folk
Is there anyone out there who knows if there is an easy way to highlight the
currentrecord using conditional formatting or something like that in Access
2003?

See http://www.lebans.com

You can down load a sample database that includes various uses for
shaded lines, including continuous form alternating lines and
highlighting the selected line.

Hi Fred, I downloaded the thing, and that is cool, but it seems really
complicated for something really simple. It should just be one expression
in conditional formatting (that I am looking for), not endless lines of
code. I actually tried to make a conditional format with the following
expression:
screen.activefo rm.currentrecor d = [id]
where [id] is the field on the form, but that did not seem to work too well.
I am thinking, I may be able to concoct a little function with
screen.activefo rm.currentrecor d and compare it to the ID field (which is
always present on my form), obviously, IDs are not always neatly numbered
1,2,3,4,5 but you may be able to do the "SELECT ID FROM RECORDSET LIMIT " &
screen.activefo rm.currentrecor d & ",1" or something like that.
Thanks for your useful response

There's no "change color for the whole record" option. In a continuous forms
view form, I can look at the record selector to see which one is selected,
if Stephen's method seems to complex.
I think Microsoft has a wish list for requests for future improvements, but
I don't have the URL handy.

Hi Larry
Yes, that is a shame. I would not actually even care of the whole record
changed color ... maybe it was just a matter changing one of the controls
(e.g. red border or so). I never use the record selectors, because they
just look so eighties. Basically my question boils down to : "can you
change the recordselectors into something with a funkier colour and a
smarter look?"
Thank you for your note.

If I'm at row 10,000 of an Access table with 60,000 lines. Is there
some way I could highlight all the rows from row 10,000 to the end of
the table (row 60,000) in an easy way rather than having to highlight
and scroll down all the lines from 10,000 to 60,000.
In excel, I believe you can do a ctrl-shift-arrow key down and it brings
you to the end of the dataset in a second. Any equivalent in an Access
table?
Thanks.

So I think this may be a stretch, but I have a subform that is
displayed on a main form. The subform is based on a query that brings
records from a table(It does not bring all fields, but the main
identifiers, since there would be too many to be able to display). The
user specifies criteria on the form, which narrows down the number of
records shown in the subform. Underneath the subform, there is another
subform that consists of 25...

I've got a continuous form that is a grid of statistical values.
When the user clicks on a statistic, something happens (specifically a
graph is created showing rolling one-year values for the stat in
question).
What I'd like to do is have the current cell highlighted somehow so
its clearer which statistic is "current".
MouseOver doesn't seem to be an option because the form is continuous

I have developed an appointments system database and I use the attached code
in the main form's current event to detect appointment clashes in the
subform. Is it possible to go to the offending record in the subform so as

course) using the Bookmark property in its Current event made it impossible
to move away from the offending record!
Many thanks.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
