Search Problem

[IEW]

I have one field that I cannot click on for search.  I can get to it by Tabbing.  All the right boxes are checked, still won't work.  Any ideas??   TIA

Not a lot of info to go on. Perhaps there's a script trigger attached to the field?

If - in layout mode - you go to View Menu > Show > Quickfind  do you get a green or yellow 'magnifying glass' icon in the field? 

 

if not, the field will not be searchable - e.g a summary field

The field is defined as a button.  This must be the problem.  Just have to live with tabbing into it.

Why not modify the script attached to the field so that the script works in browse mode but puts the cursor into the field if you are in find mode... viz:

 

If [get(windowMode) = 0] /*  Browse Mode  */

     ... the current script

else
     go to field[field that is a button]
end if

Fixed it in a different way. Reset the tab order so that the field that is a button will come up first.  End of problem.

 

Thanks all.
