Excellent! The dream team is amazing. One more question.... If the next to last command is ... PROPERTY component_id SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' and the last command is RETURN will I jump to the new field before the RETURN is executed? My concern is that I might end up going back to the "from field" quite a few times, and each time I go would I still be scheduled to jump back to the final RETURN command once for each time I enter the "from field"? I don't want to create a memory issue by having an eep command that never finishes. I hope I explained my concern in a logical way. Mike

If you assign a <Component ID> to a field with editable text, you may use the specific PROPERTY commands to selectively focus the field and then automatically place the cursor at the last position. Here's how: Using the latest version/update of R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 or 9.5 ..... 01. Assign the <Component ID> to a field with editable text 02. Now use the following PROPERTY commands, as "On Exit EEP ..." on the field from where you are planning to jump from, to selectively focus the field with editable text, and then automatically place the cursor at the last position to continue typing, etc. PROPERTY <Component ID> SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' PROPERTY <Component ID> LASTCHAR 'TRUE' RETURN That's all there is to it!
