You might try bringing up a dialog box to enter that data. use a width of 59 ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Frederick To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 12:19 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Jumping Fields
Yesterday I wrote about the cursor jumping to the next field when the 60th character of a TEXT(60) was hit and changing info at the next field. Got several suggestions and tried many combos of PROPERTY commands. This morning I used Object Inspector to change the field's MaxLength to 59 and. success with no EEPs. Type all you want and once the 59th character is hit the computer beeps and the cursor stays in the TEXT(60) field. Hit TAB or ENTER and the cursor moves to the next field as expected. Too simple. I tend to have users use the mouse to move around a screen so they can go anywhere in any order, so I might eventually turn the TAB/ENTER options off for TEXT fields. So far this simple change works. The R:Base learning curve/options just keeps rolling. Tom Frederick President/CEO Elm City Center 1314 W Walnut Jacksonville, IL 62650 W- 217-245-9504 F - 217-245-2350 E - [email protected]
