Top menu - record a script File name = end.ply Press end key Top menu - stop recording Create End.eep file with this code Play end.ply Return In the form: Right click on the note field Click Field settings On entry into: END.EEP OK This will play the end key on entry into the note field, which will accomplish your goal.

If this is still the 6.5 stuff, you need to say so in prefacing your question so people don't needlessly answer with something that doesn't apply. I have no way to test 6.5, but in certain instances a playback file might work, excepting that 6.5 has no functional equivalent of an OnEnter EEP for the note field itself, so getting that to fire at the appropriate time would be the challenge (sorry, I haven't used 6.5 since 7.0 was in beta). Truth of the matter is, if your users want you to be able to make 6.5 "jump through hoops", you would do better to simply say that It cannot be done with an environment that is MANY years behind the current versions of RBase, which can not only "jump through hoops" it can "leap tall buildings in a single bound". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Breen" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 8:48 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Getting to end of a line of text in a existing note field. Can any one recommend a good way to get the end of a existing line of text in a note field with code. Maybe a entry eep. . We have a form with a large note field in it and we may start to enter text in it and then leave the field. When the user comes back to it to add additional text to the note you start at the begging of the line of text and they really want to be at the end of the line to continue typing. They can hit the end key and get to the end of the line of text but would like to make it easer on them. Stephen Breen CDI Services, Inc. 3610 Deahl Ct. P.O.
