Select entire contents doesn't work

[Storm Cellar]

Hi. When I select a field in layout mode, go to Field Control/Field Behavior and click on Select entire contents of field upon entry, it doesn't work. No matter what I do, still doesn't work. Even with new fields. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Terri

Hi Terri,

What kind of fields are they (text, container, time etc)? What is in the field/s?

What actually does happen after you have selected this option? How are you entering the field? If you go back to browse mode and tab into the field, where is the cursor?

Howdy. The fields are either text or number. After I select the option, it doesn't give me any error, it just doesn't work upon entering browse mode. Some fields work, others don't. It doesn't matter which way I enter the fields - tab, click. I'm using FMPro Advanced v1.0. Wonder if its a bug? Thanks in advance!

Hi Terri,

You still didn't answer you last question:

If you go back to browse mode and tab into the field, where is the cursor?

but that aside...

I'm using FMPro Advanced v1.0. Wonder if its a bug? Thanks in advance!

I'm not aware of a bug such as this - either from my own work or from reports from others. However there were a number of minor issues which were addressed in a free update (FMPA 8.0v2), so I suggest that you download the updater and see if you still have the problem after installing it.

Failing that, I suggest that you try the same thing in a fresh new database created in FMPA 8.0v2, in case the problem is particular to the file you are using. :wink2:
