Dear All,
How to clearly show the active (cursor) field.
A very large form having about 100 inputfields.
After pausing input the user must see a once where the cursor is!
Thanks,
Filip

Filip,
You could use the form's "on timer" event such that, after a period of
inactivity the control that has the focus changes background colour, but
you'd need to code it carefully in case, for example, a command button had
the focus when the timer event fires.

Assuming the cursor reference is a red herring, if all you want is to show
the active field, just set the conditional formatting of the field to yellow
when the "Field has focus" (assuming also that your version of Access has
conditional formatting).

Conditional formatting is the best sulution for me.

Hi all.
I'm a newbie to ORacle and am planning to take a course in Oracle this
January. Can anyone tell me where a SQL/PL script is run from ? I tried
to run a simple SQL/PL script under SQL Plus but it doesn't work. Maybe
I was doing something wrong.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance

LocalConn.CommandTimeout = 0
LocalConn.Open sConnStringSO (SQL Server 2000, irrelevant what it is,

I see the cursor only when i click in the textbox.
Why and what to do for to see immediately the cursor in the textbox ?

Ok, I've been browsing through the MySQLdb docs, and I *think* I know
the kind of code I need to write (connect, cursor, manipulate data,

actual SQL commands too), but here's my problem: I don't know where
these scripts are supposed to be executed, or how they are supposed to
'find' the database.
Really, I have the same question for two different scenarios: accessing...

Hi all.
I have a program that copies text to clibboard when the user presses a
combination of SHIFT/CTRL and function keys.
Now i am trying to automaticly paste that text into the textbox / listbox /
datagrid where the cursor is. Is that possible?
C# must know where the cursor is. Do you agree. I can't find this out.

I am working on a little project using pysqlite. It's going to be
exposed on the web, so I want to make sure I quote all incoming data

to populate a query of the form "select * where col1 in ( ? )"
The naive approach doesn't work:
