I can't figure this out ...

I have a field on a form that is defined to allow entry in Find mode. However when I try to do a Find on that field it just blink and the cursor remains on the first field in the Tab order. However, if I tab from that field to the problem field I can enter data into it. This field is the 3rd field in the tab order. The field before it is a Pop-up list if that is relevant.

How much do you want to see? I have partitioned the application into User Interface and Database ... would it be sufficient to see the layout in question or do you want the database definition too?

No, i didn't want to see anything...

But what you say isn't normal.

Do you wish to send a new one ? Can you replicate that problem into a fresh new one ?

I discovered the cause of the problem. Although the layout with the problem was designed for general use, I modified it for use only with Find. However, the original author had defined a button which invoked a script on this field and I had not realized that ... it would be nice if there was something in Field Behaviour that indicated that there was a script.

After I removed the script things worked correctly. Could I have modified the script so that if the windowmode was find it would have permitted entry?

Thanks for your help.

"it would be nice if there was something in Field Behaviour that indicated that there was a script"

In Layout mode, under the View menu, there is an option Show buttons. This puts a thick fuzzy border around all objectd defined as a button.
