Does anyone know of an easy way to show what field the cursors is in on a
form.
I was trying to make it easier for my users to keep track of where they are
on the form.

Thanks for any and all responses

You could go into conditional formatting for each control and select the has
focus as the event, then change the background color to something that is not
too obnoxious.

For Text and combo boxes, try using Conditional Formatting
(Format menu) has focus option to change the box's
BackColor.
