Hi Richard,
Are you sure it is a standard scrolling field? Not a list field, for
example? If it is a list field, perhaps the last line gets selected when
the card opens. If it is a scrolling field, check the position of the
text insertion point right after the card opens. Is it at the end of the
text? Perhaps there is a script doing this.
It would be best to find the real cause, but if you can't find it, you
can add a script to the card that selects before char 1 of the field or
sets the scroll of the field.
on openCard
select before char 1 of fld x // option 1
set the vScroll of fld x to 0 // option 2
end openCard

I suppose I should set this property, but what in the world is the property
that determines which part of a scrolling field is displayed (or what the
first line displayed is)?
