You can also make this effect more 'cursor-like' by making it blink with a timer. Try adding a timer with a 500 interval with the following code in the timer event:

thisform.shape1.visible = ! thisform.shape1.visible

Then enable the timer on gotfocus(), and disable on lostfocus()

>> I have a form with several textboxes and 2 checkboxes (with no captions). When the user edits the form, he/she can tab (or enter) through the objects. Once the useer "gets" to a checkbox, there is no visible way of knowing he/she is there. Is there a simple way of
>bordering or highlighting the checkbox(Remeber, no captions in use)?
