This won't change the size or colour of the cursor but the attachment may give you some ideas.
Others may be able to contribute with some of their own highlighting techniques and preferences.

You can set conditional formating for each field that when it has focus it (the field) changes colors. Choose the field, select Format, Conditional Formatting. Pretty self explainatory from there.

Thanks Autoeng

I didn't know just what version of Access bassy has. I only use A97 so I don't know much about Conditional Formatting. Does it allow changing the cursor size and colour? I guess if I had that version it would be self-explanatory. Sorry if I answered too soon but it was two days old and no one else seemed to want to touch it.

No problem. Any answer is good. I use A2K. You can't change curser size or color with conditional formatting.

Thanks

Not being in possession of a newer version, or is that the other way round, I don't know sometimes.

Why not change the backcolor of the control that has the focus - ever so slightly?

Subtle yet noticeable...

That's what I said...

lol, I realise that now - I'm jumping back and forth at work here and forgetting to read all that's gone before.

I need time off - a lot of it, too.

It's hardly conditional formatting though - just event driven formatting.

I know what you mean. I'm always bumping around in the forum and read about half of a thread then stick my nose into it and realize someone has already answered it.
