This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
>Hi all
>
>I have a command button with green text "Add", this is the Add button for adding record to the grid. On navigating the grid the user will end up with a focus on this button. I want the user to be specifically aware that the focus is here and all he has to do is press enter and he will get a new record.

>Currently I have made the button taller by 5 pixels, font from 7 goes to 10 points and becomes bold, green text becomes red and chr(7)+chr(7).

Hi Bhav

How about having it flashing? .Visible .T. -> .F. in a timer? And pulsating with the changes in size? There could be an invisible label next to it that you appear at the same time, saying "Take me - I'm yours" or something.
I trust you have the Default property set to .T.

Some of these are a little facetious but I'll leave it to you to decide on taste :-)
