Can AssistEdit be called automatically?

We have a combined name field with an AssitEdit that opens a Name Detail form. The name field is non-editable to force changes to occur only through the Name Details form. 2 questions:

1. Is there a way to call/execute the AssistEdit automatically when focus is put on the name field? Trying to simplify the process and not require clicking the AssistEdit button.

2. How will it work? For example, if called from OnActivate trigger, that trigger says that the database cannot be written to as part of that trigger's code [same for OnBeforeInput]

Thanks.

    No, you cannot priocess data when focus is changed. You need to press button or something else to run the process. And it is not so hard to press the
    Shift+F2.

    Thanks - I agree with you. We are in more of a "heads-down data situation" so I was looking to save a keystroke here & there :D
