For my data entry fields I would like all the fields to be boxed in with borders all the time. In browse mode if I have not mouse clicked or tabbed into any of the fields to enter data the appearance of the layout is the way I would like. However, once the mouse is placed into the field to select a radio button or enter text, all the other fields on the page seem to "fade". I.E. all the borders become dashed lines instead of the hard boxed-in lines previously there. I pulled up the filemaker example solutions that come standard and those had this same effect as well, but when I looked at some other example files I had lying around this effect wasn't there. I tried looking through all sorts of settings menus but couldn't figure out where the difference(s) was(were).

Hi

when in layout mode, go to Layouts-->layout setup... and uncheck "show field frames when record is active"

It is all :)

Wow. I think I'll go sit in the corner now with my Newb dunce cap on. . Thank you very much for the quick and perfectly helpful reply Daniele.
