After OnObjectExit, how to move the insertion point to the same field

[deslee102]

Hi,

I am new to FM. I have a field that will be used to capture scanned barcode. When the return key is received from the scanner, the OnObjectExit script will run. At the end of the script, I put the Go to field script, but it does not put the insertion point into the field so that I can scan the next barcode. How can I do automate this script to allow me to scan a barcode and run a script and then place the insertion point back in the field so that I can scan the next barcode.

Appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Besides explicitly scripting go to field, I think you will also have to end your script with Exit Script [ false ].

I use loops to control the validation and data entry points.

BruceR,

Thank you for your help.

I tried the exit script(false), it seems to work. However, after that, I can't seem to be able to quit or exit to layout mode.

Are there any scripts that I need to add?

IdealData,

Thanks for your suggestion of using the Loop.

Could u show me a sample of the script as to how I can do that. I am new to FM and any help I can get will be great.
