You're right. The properties and methods only apply to the then "current row". With that in mind, say if you were in the third or fourth field of the region and exited the region, the onExit eep would fire setting the focus to the first field, then when the newrow is created, you will be in the first field of the new row.

Think about it, in a scrolling region you have multiple copies of the same control. You can't set focus to all of them at once.

It's all a matter of what resources are available when, not simple in windows sometimes.

The action you want to capture is at the table level. I was thinking you really want to use the After Insert Row eep. That way, when you F8 you will just go to the next row without moving, but upon adding a row you will jump to the first field. It all depends on using the correct eep (or eeps) to achieve your goal.

Scrolling region it is. I ran into this a long time ago. When you use a dbedit in a scrolling region and move to the next row, you aren't really leaving the dbedit. I had to write some code so that if I always entered a field from the left. Not sure if that's the issue or not. -----Original Message----- From: J BLAUSTEIN <[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> (RBASE-L Mailing List) Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:42:36 -0500 Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: SET FOCUS So this sounds like a scrolling region that you are entering by using the F8 key. Is that correct? - yes Add an *on entry to row *eep with that code in it - I have the code in after the form start .
