Hi Richard,
What way do you have of navigating to a record on a list layout that
won't load it? The script-trigger version works with 'on record load',
and is pretty much a step-by-step recipe.

Thanks for the leads, Jonathan. I did my best to make the 1st one
work, but the best I could get was something that would highlight each
newly selected record but not UNhighlight the previously selected
ones. Obviously, there's some trick involved in refreshing the global
variable that tracks the current record, and I couldn't get the hang
of it.
As to the script-trigger version, there are just too many ways of
navigating from 1 record to another for me to want to script all the
various possibilities, so I just passed on this one.
I appreciate the effort to help, but I'm surrendering for now and will
live without the enhanced highlighting. This is just way harder than
it has any reason to be. I have submitted my hope for a "Get (
ActiveRecordID )" function into the FMI "requested feature" suggestion
box, so maybe sometime in the future there'll be a way of
accomplishing this objective in a more user-intuitive fashion.
