I am experiencing the same problem with table fields, i.e., the insertion
point won't show up.
In my case, the field actually has the focus, because it does receive my
input. If I jump to
another form which has regular (non-table based) fields and set focus on one
of the fields, then
when I come back to the table field, the cursor will show up from there
after.
I have tried FrmSetFocus(), FldGrabFocus(), InsPtEnable(), none of them
worked. I am glad
somebody finally brought this up. (Shaolin Hu)
