Go To Field from OnObjectExit Trigger

This is a client request for an existing database.

 

My client wishes to have the drop-down list for Field B displayed whenever Field A is exited.

 

I had thought this would be a simple solution:  OnObjectExit trigger on Field A calls Go To Field ( B ) script.  However, in practice, this does not work.  Stepping though in Debugger, the script does go to Field B and displays the drop-down menu, but then immediately exits Field B.  In real time, the drop down menu is never displayed, because Field B is exited immediately after it is entered.

 

NOTE:  This occurs when exiting Field A with a mouse-click.  I have already set the Tab Order so that Field B follows Field A when tabbing.

 

So, I'm looking for a workaround.

 

Again, I simply need to have the drop-down list for Field B displayed whenever Field A is exited.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The trigger must fire a script like:

Go to Field [ YourTable::Field B ]

Exit Script [ result: 0 ]

That did it.

 

Thanks, Raybaudi!
