After completing field set focus to another field

[terryd]

I have a form where The user selects a drop down on FIL:field1.
Once this dropdown is selected I unhide FIL:field2.
I want to set focus to that unhidden FIL:field2
In  FIL:field1 on the drop tab there is a field 'When accepted, set focus'
What do I need to enter in this field to set focus to FIL:field2?
I have tried FIL:field2 but the cursor jumps to the first field in the form

Did you try
'FIL:field2'
including the quotes?

Hi Terry.

I found that I had to change the position of this line.

p_web.SetValue('SelectField',Clip(loc:formname) & '.' 7 p_web.NoColon('NAMEOFYOUEQUATE'))

I moved this line between

!  [Priority 5000]

p_web.SetValue('SelectField',Clip(loc:formname) & '.' 7 p_web.NoColon('NAMEOFYOUEQUATE'))

! End of "After Validate New Value, After sending replies"

This  has been working great for some time so not sure if this has been fixed by now.
Cheers

Thanks for the replies
Vinnie. I haven't tried your solution yet. I need to see if I can use the default system first.
Hi Bruce. Yes I should have enclosed in quotes  since the prompt did not state no quotes.
However
I have 3 places where I have done this
1. A checkbox where the field is unhidden.Focus is on the correct lookup button on the specified entry field
2. A drop list with no lookup but with extra possibilities. Focus is placed on the specified entry field
3. A string with a lookup. Here the focus remains on the string entry field, and not on the specified focus field.

I'd need to see examples Terry.

Vinnie's solution (note: the 7 in his text should be an &) worked great for me. Placing that code AFTER the refresh call to display the hidden field that I wanted the focus set to was the answer.

Hi Bruce
Using Accounts Example(31)
I added 'INV:Paid' to INV:Customer field set focus in the UpdateInvoices Netwebform
compiled
Select Operations\Invoices
Change Invoice1
Select to change customer
Select Country South Africa from drop down
select Eco-Times systems as new customer
Focus still goes to Date not Paid checkbox
Attached App and Dct

Hi Vinnie and Markster thanks.
I checked the location of that line in the code from the attached App and it is already in  Priority 5000 after End of Validate New Value
  If loc:noFocus = false
    p_web.SetValue('SelectField',clip(loc:formname) & '.' & p_web.NoColon('INV:Paid'))
  End
Moving the line slightly lower to
  ! Start of "After Validate New Value, After sending replies"
  ! [Priority 5000]
 p_web.SetValue('SelectField',clip(loc:formname) & '.' & p_web.NoColon('INV:Paid'))
  ! End of "After Validate New Value, After sending replies"
without the noFocus check had no effect, focus still set to Date field
