cursor

when i open a word document the cursor does not appear. i must click inside of the word document in order for the cursor to appear. normally when you open a word document new or already created the cursor is already there blinking. for some reason on this one machine it is not there and i must click anywhere in the document in order for the cursor to appear so i can modify, print, etc. can someone please help me get my cursor back?

im not sure and i can't really find anywhere where it tells you how to load a different cursor.. ive tried to use "loadcursor();" in the initinstance functions in the class derived from cwinapp but it doesn't load a different cursor and if any of you know any good mfc tutorials/resources

does me.cursor.current=cursors.wait­cursor set the current property of me.cursor to cursors.waitcursor and me.cursor.current=cursors.defa­ult set the me.current property to something (default) stored in me.cursor. or is cursors.default some process wide cursor shape? what is a correct statement? i the top statement is correct what happens if i do me.cursor=cursors.waitcursor me.cursor=cursors.default thanks

hi experts, i have created a sql cursor for records processing in a stored procedure. i probably can use the @@cursor_rows function in order to obtain total rows of record contained inside the cursor. but once i declare the cursor as fast_forward, it always return me -1. i need to declare the cursor as fast_forward as it really helps in tuning the performance. else my stored procedure will take longer time to execute. any other way i can use to get the total records being returned? i've tried to signal another sql statement to perform the records count but this seems to create redundant overhead. i believe if i can do anything to existing cursor without having extra select count statement, it would help to reduce unnecessary processing and shorten the overall time required. really appreciate for any advice or suggestion. thanks a lot.
