Continuous forms, highlighting specific record

[Mark]

Hi there, I have a subform, set as a continuous form.
When a user selects a particular record in that subform, how can I make that
particular record stand out (color or font change, size, etc) from
the other records in the list?
Thank you in advance,
Mark

You might be able to do something using Conditional Formatting on the Format
menu in design view.
I think you'll have to set the conditional formatting individually for each
control, however.

Thanks a bunch. I'd never used conditional formatting and it will help,
although I still need, if possible, to "flag" the whole record.
Thank you very much.

For sample code see:
http://www.lebans.com/conditionalformatting.htm
New Feb 08,2002. Added support for Datasheet view and SubForms.

A2KConditionalFormatting.zip is a sample MDB demonstrating how to
programmatically setup Conditional Formatting to simulate:

1) Highlighting of the Current Row for a Form in Continuous or Datasheet
View

2) Highlighting of Alternate Rows for a Form in Continuous or Datasheet
View

Version 2.7

Added sample demonstrating how to achieve a background
Hover/Highlighting of rows for a form in Continuous view.

Version 2.3

Added sample demonstrating how to achieve pseudo enable/disable of an
unbound control on a form in Continuous View.

Version 1.9

Added sample form to show how to apply conditional formatting to based
on a Boolean(Yes/No) field.
