A question for the group............ I have a subfile (say max size of 36 with 12 lines per page). This subfile has alpha and numeric fields all initialized to spaces/zeros. My users enter information into this subfile and hit the enter key when they are done entering all of the entries. Their entries may fit on one page (screen) or the user may have to roll for the next screen. The last field in the subfile is a 2 char alpha field and when they enter the 2 characters they are automatically advanced to the next field. The problem is that the user is not paying attention and when he enters the last entry on the page, he just keeps entering. The cursor wraps back to the top of the subfile and he is then typing over his 1st subfile entry. Per his request, once he is done entering the last entry he wants the cursor to be frozen "stuck" there or to go somewhere else (other than back to the top) so he can't type over his already entered information. All of this of course without him having to hit the enter key. Short of giving him only 1 page worth that he has to fill in at a time (and hitting enter at the end of each page), does anyone know of a way (a subfile keyword?) that will allow the auto advance to the next field but will not go to the top of the subfile if that auto advance field is the last field in the subfile?
