Hi Everyone,

I have a little problem. I have not been able to work it out. I have a field on two different tabs. Example tab1 & tab3 - I want to click on the field in tab3 and goto the same field but when i do this the tab changes to tab1. I understand that the focus is going to the first tab but I want the focus in the 3rd tab.

Is this possible.

When you have several instances of the same field on the layout, Go to Field [] goes to the one that is furthest to the back.

I think your file demonstrates that objects in the first pane of a tab control will always be "behind" any objects in the other panes.

You could give the field in the third pane an object name and use Go to Object [] instead of GotoField [].

Or, if the field in the first pane is not to be entered, it could be a merge field.

Hi thanks for your response but when you goto an object name you are unable to edit the field. And this is an important part.

Hwhen you goto an object name you are unable to edit the field.

What would make you think so?

EDIT:

Oh, I see: your field is also a button. You must (temporarily) remove the button action from the field. Then give the field an object name, and re-attach the script. Otherwise you are naming the button, and Go to Object selects it instead of going to the field.
