highlight active field during data entry

[Marybelle]

Well, here's another:

I wish I could be able to distinguish the active field by some type of highlight. I asked this question in a board and what I got was that I should put a color box behind my fields. But all my layouts are of white background and I hate that I need to create a layout for each layout with a color box just so that I can see where I am entering data. Not goinging to go there. That'd be a nightmare everytime I had an adjustment to a layout.

It's not clear what method you've tried (it would help if you would post a link when referring to previous discussions). But usually with the field frames turned on, it's pretty easy to see the current field because it has a solid border rather than a dashed border.

If you want a highlight color, then use a different color for the Body and a rectangle graphic with your desired layout color covering the entire Body. See attached.
