Select entire contents of field when entered

[Tom Kennedy]

On my layout I have two fields that I have changed the field behavior to "Select entire contents of field when entered". My entry procedure has "Insert from Last Visited" for both of these fields as well.

If you tab through the layout fields, on an existing record, the entire contents of these fields is selected as you would expect.

However when you click on my custom "Enter" button, the cursor goes to the end of the contents of the first field instead of selecting the entire contents.

Is there a command or method that I can have the entire contents of this first field highlighted.

Hi Tom,

You haven't explained what your Enter button involves but if you end that script with script step [color:blue]Select All (found under the editing section), it should select the entire field. :wink2:

Perfect.

Thank you so much!
