Default Active Control On Page

Jonathan2708

Hi,

In classic forms there is the ActiveControlOnOpen property to specify which control has focus when the form opens. This has disappeared with the Page object, and there doesn't appear to be a CurrPage.Control.ACTIVATE method either. Does anybody know how to achieve the same thing with the Page object? I've tried setting the ID of the control to 1 but didn't have any effect. I think it must be possible because in standard pages such as the sales invoice the default control is 'No.'. In my page the action pane has the focus when the page is opened and you have to tab to get to the first control. It's a high volume data entry page so the keystrokes need to be reduced as much as possible.

Any help appreciated,

Jonathan

May be this is because No. is primary key? :-k

Did you show your primary key field on page?
