Is there a way to highlight the current data row in an Access 2000 continuous form? I would think of changing the background color of the specific row (detail section), but I can't find a property that would let me do that. An OnGotFocus property even of a control won't work for a number of reasons, an important one being that one use of this would be on a form containing two subforms, the second one of which shows (and allows the user to add/edit) detailed data related to the current row on the first subform.

Unfortunately, the Color 97/95 doesn't do the job. And conditional formatting in Access 2000 can be used for some of the same results.
The first suggestion you made does work, although it's just highlighting one control in the row. But at least it give the user some indication of the current row, as long as the user clicks on that one control.
Thanks.
