Alastair, I did try that. I put this... PROPERTY id_vfolder SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' PROPERTY id_vfolder LASTCHAR 'TRUE' At the very top of the eep and this...PROPERTY id_bigpdf GOURL .vdisplayname at the bottom. Same issue. The SET_FOCUS works, but the GOURL steals the focus and won't give it back to the SET_FOCUS when it's done displaying the file. The PAUSE FOR n some how is able to retrieve the focus and then hand it off to the SET_FOCUS command. I don't know if the Web Control would benefit from an enhancement request regarding it's effect on FOCUS. I may just not be understanding how the GOURL command is supposed to affect the focus. I can't think of any good reason why the GOURL should want to affect the FOCUS when my goal is to display a file. The only property that the Web Control has that I can control is "Tab Stop". Unchecking Tab Stop did not seem to affect the FOCUS.

Pause for 5 did not work, but ... Pause for 1 USING 'Bam!' does seem to make it work better. Seems like I need to have the focus shifted away from the Web Control after the GOURL command to get the following commands to work. The only issue with my work around seems to be the highlighting of the characters based on checking AUTOSELECT...the characters are no longer highlighted, but that is not a big deal.

Possibly a timing issue. Maybe try a PAUSE FOR 2 after the PROPERTY id_bigpdf GOURL .vdisplayname to give it time to process. Does your field get the focus if you TRACE the command?
