datasheet background

[Chris Watts]

You could make the text a brighter color.

I wrote this code about ten seconds after I got my 30" monitor: it  
highlights the current line.   It could be modified to do all sorts of  
other mischief

put it in a procedure called .CurrentRecord and enjoy...

Here is a simplified version that doesn't need any variables to be set  
in advance

Case info("WindowName")=info("databasename")
Style "all black"	
Style "record red"
endcase
