moving between fields

[mooberry]

I need more flexibility in moving between fields. (I know this sounds weird.)

I have created a field validation/script combination (using a plugin from Waves in Motion) so that if a field is modified an "x" is put into a field that indicates that the record has been updated. This is rather nifty BUT the cursor disappears from the screen once the script has gone to the modified field to insert the x (the field doesn't even appear on the layout, but the cursor disappears nonetheless).

The people using this database don't want to have to click on each field before entering data. They want to be able to just press Tab to move between fields, but they can't do it right now w/ the script activated.

Is there a script step that says "go to field (last used)"? the "go to previous field" function does not work in this case.

thx.

If you know what field has been changed, you can use the script step GoToField. It shouldn't be too much of a hassel because if your marking an x next to the field which has been changed, you know which field to return to.
