Hi Craig

The keyboard shortcut to do this is SHIFT-ALT-F7 when you have focus in the
field.  You can automate this by using an active link to set focus to the
field, then use OLE to 'press' the above key combination.  See the downloads
section on Gidd's website for details on how to use OLE and SendKeys.

The string for SHIFT-ALT-F7 is +%{F7}

Nope--already know about these.  Basically, you have the expand button
to the right of a character field and I want to "push" it via workflow
so that the larger text window is displayed.  The expand button process
will be handled by a different button.

Do you mean the run process command "PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK". 

Executes all active links associated with the specified Execute On
condition (and field ID, as appropriate). The active links fire as if
the Execute On condition indicated occurred. For example,
PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 8 specifies to run all On Modify active links
as if a modify operation was performed. The active links fire, but no
modify is actually performed. 

   The options for this command are as follows:   
      Button:                   PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 1 <field_ID>

      Return/Table Dbl-Clk:     PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 2 <field_ID>

      Submit:                   PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 4   
      Modify:                   PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 8   
      Display:                  PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 16   
      Menu Choice:              PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 128
<field_ID>   
      Lose Focus:               PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 256
<field_ID>   
      Set Default:              PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 512   
      Search:                   PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 1024   
      After Modify:             PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 2048   
      After Submit:             PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 4096   
      Gain Focus:               PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 8192
<field_ID>   
      Window Open:              PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 16384   
      Un-Display:               PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 65536   
      Window Close:             PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 32768   
      Copy To New:              PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 131072   
      Window Loaded:            PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 262144   

NOTE:  <field_ID> refers to the ID without the $ around it.  i.e.
PERFORM-ACTION-ACTIVE-LINK 1 536870923

Subject: Q: Character Field Window

Does anyone know of a way via workflow to simulate a button-push on a
character field to open the larger view window?

For example; have an alternate button that when pushed, opens a
character field window.
