I have a database with a few records in it. When the form is first opened, the cursor blinks in the first field prompting the user to input data. However, when the user moves to another record or returns to the first record, there is no cursor blinking. The user has to click in a field and begin typing. This is also true when a new record is added. When the screen does not have a blinking cursor, the user has to click in a field and begin entering data.
All of my other databases give a blinking cursor or highlights the data in the current field of the form at all times.
How can I force the blinker prompt the user to enter data and in what field. I am aware of the method of changing the tab order. This does not seem to work on the above problem. Is it possible that I need to change some setting?
I have also copied the database and opened the new copy with the dame results.
Thanks for your assistance.
