RE: Display Screen problem

["Sharon Rogers" <sharon.rogers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

My desire is that when the user has keying an incorrect value into a field a
error message displays and the field is reverse highlighted to make it as
clear as humanly possible which entry caused the error and to bring their
attention to it quickly.  Sometimes users, when in a bit of a hurry, don't
notice the message and will call as ask what is wrong with their program.
TIA

Sharon

I do not remember having problems beyond the blinking attribute.  Maybe is a
specific situation you may have.  Can you give us more details about it?

Hello everyone,

I have a question along the same vein.  How about reverse highlighting
instead
of blinking?  Same results?

Thanks

Sharon

     I'm not 100% sure, but I think that BLINK only works on monochrome
displays
     ... I think the blink attribute turns red on color displays (of any
type).
