If your version is Access 2000 or later, you can set the control backgrounds
to a different color when they get focus by using that choice in Conditional
Formatting. In the form's design view, select a control then go to Format
.... Conditional Formatting and choose "Field has focus" from the combo box.
Pick your background color or other format.
