When I converted my first database from dos to Win 7.6, I didn't realize I needed to change the form settings to paint the different field types before I converted. Then I had to change each field by hand, one at a time. Fortunately, it only had a few hundred fields to be changed. So I'm doing another conversion. I changed my field settings before beginning. But I'm noticing that the property to changed the background color when focused is not applied to any of my fields. I have to change each one by hand, one at a time. There are over one thousand fields on all the forms. What am I doing wrong? I've only converted about 10 forms so far.
