Have you checked that the If statment matches what you actually need to test.

The following code doesn't look like it really tests anything:

IF "No." = customer."No." THEN

Also note when the onFormat trigger runs - after a record update, or when the form initially opens. If you only want to bold records when a user selects them or highlights them you may have to do something really funky.

click on the left most bar & this will hi-lite the whole line.

The setting of code on every field, so that in the chance that someone clicks on any field on a line, that the whole line is hi-lited sound a little impractical.

Are you trying to make navision do what some other program you had, used to do?

I thought this topic was explained to death on

You will have to code every field if you want a complete line to have a similar or same format.

In this hi-lite senario - it's easier to click the left-most column - the functionality is already there.

Side note: If you're counting post is solved - please add that to the title - thanks.

I agree with Savatage...this has already been covered to death in another thread and that highlighting the entire could be impractical.

It sounds like you want the row to highlight when the user clicks on it. I think the only way to do this is put code in the OnActive/Deactive triggers of each filed that calls currform.update. I really think this modification is a bit of a hack. The field the user is on is highlighted by default and the row you're on has an arrow to the left of the first column.

I don't think I would recommend anything this ugly or look into it very much.
