mvps.org solution not working...

That highlites the selected row on a continous form.

I have checked and rechecked the properties on the ctlBack (highlite overlay
control)
but as I select a row the ctlBack eventhough set to transparent, is opaque
over the top of the continous form row.

Form-Detail background was changed to match the example = 12632256
ctlBack Background is Transparent; backcolor=10092543;forecolor=8454143
fields... Background is Transparent; backcolor=8454143; forecolor=0

Even tried changing the IME sentence to phrase predict (the only option that
was different other then height, width type properties) Unrelated I know but
I checked every single property comparing from the example DB to my DB and it
works on the example but not mine... What else can I check in my local DB?
the GetLineNumber function works properly w/ my key values and record
sources. The hilitle just hides the data because it is not transparent like
the poperty has set it to be.

Could Access2003 be different that the downloaded-auto-converted example?
(access2003 refused to open the example with out converting). There are 3
references in the example that are missing after I converted, but the form
hiliting still works in the example DB.

Missing vba references: WZCS97.MDA; WZMAIN80.MDE; WZTOOL80.MDE <-but the
example works.

Fix/remove those references before worrying about anything
else. A single missing reference can wreak havoc on a
database.

As for your highlighting problem, double check that the
color text box is behind the real text box using the Format
- Send to Back menu item.

Format!Send to back

Excellent works just like it should now.

Thanks!!
