Form (with child browses) focus question/issue

[Stu]

Hi Bruce,

I've got a form that has a problem where the focus shifts a fair way down the page to the first control (button).

Have searched around (this thread, http://www.nettalkcentral.com/forum/index.php?topic=6090.0, and some others).

But specifically, I'd like to know how to either TURN OFF all focuses in the form, or TURN ON focus to a field that's not a button.

More specifically, I have a display field at the top of the form, it's a big one, more than a screen-height for sure. And I'd like to make sure it has the focus.

Or, just to load so that nothing has the focus, so the browser just sits at the top of the page (which is the "turn off" thing I guess, not sure).

Any thoughts/help?

Hi Stu,

I've added a switch in 8.49 to the Advanced tab of Forms so that you can turn off the Auto-Focus for the form.
There's also a new switch on the Locator tab for browses (Default Focus to Locator) which does the same thing there....

cheers
Bruce
