Access Form - Highlight Active Controls

Hi

I've got an Access form and I want the border of each control to be certain colour and width the control is active. I've done this by using ENTER and EXIT events for each one, but wondered if there is a more elegant way of doing this.

I've found examples where the active control format is changed, but none that revert the formatting when the control is deselected.

Cheers - Chris

I think the way you've found is probably the best way I'm afraid.
You could play with the Windows settings of the display but that would only work on any PC you configured that way (at best).
