If in a layout I have fields that have drop down value lists or calendars, how do I get them to display automatically when I script goto[field] and pause the script for a selection or response?

If the field has the arrow or calendar icon, it won't drop down when you enter the field. The solution is to either not use the icon, or; put a copy of the field behind the original field. The one in front will have the icon and be in the tab order; the one behind won't have the icon or be in the tab order, but will be the one that the script targets (a script will go to the field that's in back in the stacking order). Try it!
