What do you mean? Do you want a new Item Card after the user puts in a Base UOM? Can you explain why you want this?

It's for inventory :
I've got a card Form with SourceTable : MyNewTable -> User ID, Location Code,Zone Code, itemNo.,Line No., Qty....
I'd like :
When a user enters (validate) Qty of Item, cursor goes on a new record of my card form, field :"Item No."

I hope that it is clearer

Ok,

The only thing I can think of is doing the following steps:

1. Place a dummy control on the form and make sure it is the NextControl of Base UOM

2. In the OnActivate of that control put a function 'CreateNewRec'

3. In this function you put

    if isclear(winscript) then
      create(WinScript);
    WinScript.SendKeys('{F3}');

WinScript is an Automation Control 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell
