I have a number of Yes/No chech=k boxes on a form. The problem is that when
the user moves to these fields, the cursor is not obvious. Is there any way
that the Properties of this field can be changed so that the cursor appears
to the right of these boxes and very clear?

Thanks for any help

Unlike other controls, the checkbox doesn't allow for a background color
(change) on GotFocus. You could, however, change the background color of
the checkbox's label control...

Just musing here, but maybe you could put a solid rectangle
(a little larger than the check box) underneath the
checkbox, and then set the checkbox's GotFocus event to
visually change the rectangle.
