Cannon,
YOU WIN!!!
We did the following (so everyone else knows:
1) Create a new method pEst_SF_SetTimer which simply calls
SET TIMER (-1)
2) Turn on the On Timer even on the subform
3) Add the following code to the form method of the subform
Case of
: ($evt=On Timer)
GOTO OBJECT([Estimate]Job_Name)
SET TIMER(0)
End case
4) Add the following code to the On Load case of the parent form
EXECUTE METHOD IN SUBFORM("estSubform";"pEst_SF_SetTimer") //set timer for
subform
The GOTO OBJECT call is then executed in the context of the subform AFTER the
full ON LOAD cycle has finished, and has the added benefit of automatically
having all of the text highlighted so we don’t have to worry about the
HIGHLIGHT TEXT shortcoming.
Piece of cake (4 hours later). <SIGH>
I guess I should throw out the “I’d like to make a phone call” statement
earlier in the game and get to the prize more quickly. :-)
