Normally
PROPERTY <ComponentID> SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
Should do the trick; you can also try the old "SKIP TO" command. Are you
using tabs for the different pages? I have converted my multi page forms in
the old versions to tabbed forms in 7.X and they work great. You can also
try to place the components of page 2 in a container such as a panel or a
group box and then on exit from the last field on page 1 do:
PROPERTY your_container_id SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
PROPERTY your next_field_id SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
Just some ideas...

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Moving from Page 1 to page 2 on multi-tab form

I am converting a 3 page R:Base for DOS form to R:base 7.1.

I'd like to set it up so that when the user tabs or enters out of the last
field on page 1, the focus goes to the first field on page 2, as it did in
DOS: these are heads down entry folks and extra keystrokes won't make them
pleased.

Right now, tabbing or entering out of the field puts the focus on the "Page
1" tab.

I've placed a message on the form that pressing "[Alt}+2" will move directly
to page 2 and put focus on the field.  But is there a way to do it without
that unusual, different, sequence breaking keystroke?

I tried an ON EXIT eep with PROPERTY 1stCompIDOnPage2 SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' -
didn't work.

Ideas?

David
