Has anyone figured out how go to a specific object in a subform when opening 
the parent form (currently in v15.4 HF3)?

The docs for Page Subforms 
(http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15.4/Page-subforms.300-3285433.en.html) says

        The GOTO OBJECT command looks for the destination object in the parent 
form even if it is executed from a subform.

While the docs for GOTO OBJECT 
(http://doc.4d.com/4Dv15/4D/15.5/GOTO-OBJECT.301-3577086.en.html) says:

The GOTO OBJECT command can be used in the context of a subform. When it is 
called from a subform, it first looks for the object in the subform, then, if 
the search does not find anything there, it extends the search to objects of 
the parent form.

I’ve tried calling a method using EXECUTE METHOD IN SUBFORM which does a GOTO 
OBJECT followed by HIGHLIGHT TEXT, but nothing I do ever leaves me in the 
object in the subform that I want.

The entry order on the subform doesn’t matter either.

The idea here is that I open the parent form and I want to be sitting in the 
first field on the subform with all of its text highlighted.

I (3 of us together actually) cannot figure this one out.

Any ideas?

I’m going to convert a copy to v16R4 and test there to see if I’m crazy or not.

Thanks,
Randy
