Cursor Locking, not computer

[cabrio]

This is a wierd one for you all.

I start up my database, which goes fine.
I click on an active interface in the "Main Menu" to move to a module.
when i go to open any sub menu, it opens fine.
So far everything is going perfect.

with most of my submenu items theie is usually a form that requests information, i.e a customer who's order you want to look up, or any kind of accounting stuff.

at this point i notice it, my cursor is not blinking.

you might think that this is not much of a problem, however, the result is that some refresh, requery functions will not work.

it is an intermittent problem, happens 5 out of 10 times and I don't know what makes the difference.

does the same at work or at home.

both machines run XP and Office97 that is where the similarities end, other than that they are two different machines with respect to hardware.


please help

you may have the enabled property of the fields are no, then the cursor wont be able to be clicked on it... check to make sure you don't have code that is turning this property to false, and also, make sure it's not off in design view...

Just a thought...

You might want to force a SetFocus to the specific fields where you want your cursor to stop.

i can click in the field, i can also type in the field.
the property of the field is enabled, else i would not be able to get into it at all.

however

i found out something today that might show it is not related to my code.

if i have my desktop set to 1024 x 768 everything is ok i.e. cursor blinks fine

if i have my desktop set to 800 x 600 everything is not ok i.e. cursor does not blink.

any more suggestions??
