Thanks Razzak. How can I determine if I am displaying the last variable in the table? If last variable I want to set the focus to the first field in the next section (another table), otherwise I want to move to the next record and set focus to the first field in the current section.

Based on the user input, programmatically, you can switch between fields and focus on any field, using the "SET_FOCUS" option of the PROPERTY command as Custom Entry/Exit EEP. In order to accomplish such task, first you will need to assign unique Component IDs for all relevant DB/VAR Edit controls. Then, use the following sample code as an On Exit EEP. -- A very simple example -- On Exit EEP RECALC VARIABLES IF vCheckValue IN (a,d,e,f) THEN PROPERTY ComponentIDa SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' ELSE PROPERTY ComponentIDb SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' ENDIF RETURN Where: vCheckValue is the resulting value based on expression defined in a form. ComponentIDa and ComponentIDb are unique Component IDs assigned to a given DB/VAR edit controls in form. Hope that helps! For more details and examples, refer to R:Docs 9.5.
