1. When a record is selected using the TAB button or the mouse roller the fields in focus are entirely highlighted and typing anything will clear your previous data. Can this be changed so as to make the cursor just stand alone in the field (ie. getting rid of the highlighting altogether).

2. When changing data in a field and then losing focus can the change you made in the data be confirmed... like "Are you sure?" with a Yes/No option?

3. List boxes don't seem to follow changes of records when scrolling though them with the mouse roller (when the list box is out of focus). Can this be "fixed"?

  1. for 1 & 2 go to Tools > Options

    for 1. select the Keyboard tab.  There's an option there to control how the field is selected when tabbing into it.

    for 2. select the edit/find tab. There's an option there for confirming changes, etc.

    don't know about #3
