This is a great idea but I cant get it to work. What version supports it ?
I checked Rdocs and could not find it either.
On a related issue
If a property command is wrong - does it generate any error messages ?
If so how do we see them
Is there a definitive guide to syntax, ie when is what quoted, when to
use <table|component ID> or <formname|component ID> instead of just the
component ID etc.

Ted,
With out knowing the specifics in your form here are some suggestions.
1. Use the On Focus properties of the DB-Memo to change the background
colors of the fields.
DB-Memo Properties | Effects | Background Color when focused
or
PROPERTY <Component ID> HIGHLIGHTFOCUSCOLOR 'YELLOW'
(I like yellow, works well in a nmber of themes) in your on-entry eep to
the field.
2. In a form with 2 tables the focus will remain on the first table. Use
unique component ID's on fields in your 2nd table. PROPERTY
<field1in2ndtable> SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
3. Change the cursor style. Make sure your field has a good component ID .
Place this in your field.
PROPERTY <FormFieldComponentID> SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
PROPERTY <FormFieldComponentID> CURSOR -21 (gives you a finger point)
. crAppStart (-19)
. crArrow (-2)
. crCross (-3)
. crDefault (0)
. crDrag (-12)
. crHandPoint (-21)
. crHelp (-20)
. crHourGlass (-11)
. crHSplit (-14)
. crIBeam (-4)
. crMultiDrag (-16)
. crNo (-18)
. crNoDrop (-13)
. CrNone (-1)
. crSizeAll (-22)
. crSizeNESW (-6)
. crSizeNS (-7)
. crSizeNWSE (-8)
. crSizeWE (-9)
. crSQLWait (-17)
. crUpArrow (-10)
. crVSplit (-15)
Lastly, check your clock settings.

also.)

Subject: [RBASE-L] - No cursor in a DB Memo field, typing OK
I have a form which has two tables. The first table and its fields work
fine. When I click in the first field of the second table, there is no
cursor - however, I can type in the field just fine. The cursor will not
appear unless I click on another field in the second table. If after that I
click in the first field again, the cursor is there.
I have tried PROPERTY set_focus commands, skip to commands, even clicking
"add row" or "refresh" does not give me a cursor in the first field of the
second table.
The tables are linked through a common column, a date column. The second
table's date is set by a variable derived from the first table's date field.
That seems to work fine; the date populates correctly upon clicking in the
top field of the second table.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Maybe it's lack of sleep, but I can't
seem to find the problem!
Best Regards,
Ted
