I am not sure I understand the question. The variable edit has the component id "id_key_stroke_ln". Mike

I made a new form, 1 field, a variable edit, with a component id of id_key_stroke_ln I have this in my form properties "AFTER START EEP" --ON AFTER START EEP PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln highlightfocus 'true' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln highlightfocuscolor 'yellow' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln lastchar 'true' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln set_focus 'TRUE' RETURN When I run the form, there is a blinking cursor in the field, but it is white, not yellow.

The component indicator name should be from the field you want to start in PROPERTY cid SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' where cid is the component id as above. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael J. Sinclair To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Saturday, April 17, 2010 5:47 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Which EEPs gets these command? Hi all, I am trying to figure out which EEPS should get certain commands. My goal is to have the user have the opportunity to start typing the moment the form displays, without having to click on the field that requires data entry. Specifically, I want a blinking cursor in the field, with a yellow background, when the form starts and again after a Bit Button (or an Enhanced Speed Button) is clicked. I think I need these commands... PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln HIGHLIGHTFOCUS 'TRUE' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln HIGHLIGHTFOCUSCOLOR 'yellow' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln LASTCHAR 'TRUE' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' What I can't seem to figure out is which EEPS should have these commands? And in what order? For starting the form, should they go in the "Form Properties" ON BEFORE START EEP or in the ON AFTER START EEP? To make it work for clicking the Bit Button (or the Enhanced Speed Button), should they go in the "On Click EEP" of the button or should they go in the "On Entry EEP" of the Variable Edit Field? Do I have the right idea? Is there a better way of making this work? TIA. Mike
