Set Color for Selected Records

[dgriffin]

I am hoping someone can tell me how I would go about changing the background color of records that a user selects using the record selectors down the left side of a continuous form.

I am hoping there is a better way than keeping track of the SelTop/Left/Height/Width properties. Although I haven't quite got that to work either, because I can't figure out where to place the code. There doesn't seem to be an equivalant event for the detail section of forms as the Format event for reports.

I've thought about using check boxes, however, I would like to stick with the record selectors because of their ease of use for the user (when selecting large numbers of records).

Some detailed guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan
