Jim,
Property "component ID" set_focus 'True' Property "component ID" SELECTALL 'True' Should cause the named component to be selected/highlighted. When you start typing, the existing value (thus the null sign) should go away. You will need to put the above Property commands in the On Key Press EEp. It may be that I have the order reversed on the above. You may need to select all first then set focus. I do not remember which, but if I remember correctly, it does make a difference. You can try either way. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Belisle" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 22, 2010 11:51:44 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: On Key Press Karen, Mike, I tried your suggestion on my OKP field and it did not change anything. The var vKeyword comes up as a NULL even though I set the var vKeyword = ‘ ‘ When I click on the field, I still have to delete the NULL sign. Along the same line, I have the following var that are used in both the quote and order forms. SET VAR vDistName TEXT = NULL SET VAR vDistAddress TEXT = NULL SET VAR vDistCity TEXT = NULL SET VAR vDistState TEXT = NULL SET VAR vDistZip TEXT = NULL SET VAR vContactName TEXT = NULL SET VAR vDistPhone1 TEXT = NULL SET VAR vDistFax TEXT = NULL SET VAR vDistEMail TEXT = NULL SET VAR vShipName TEXT = NULL SET VAR vShipAddress TEXT = NULL SET VAR vShipCity TEXT = NULL SET VAR vShipState TEXT = NULL SET VAR vShipZip TEXT = NULL Most of the times they are filled in automatically because they are lookup variables, but sometimes not. Which way would be best? SET VAR vdistname TEXT Or SET VAR vdistname TEXT = ‘ ‘ Jim From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 22, 2010 11:35 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: On Key Press Do you keep the null set to the default -0- before you bring the form up? I never do... maybe you can set null ' ' (space between the quotes) before you bring up the form and then set it back to -0- after you exit. Karen I have an On Key Press form associated with a Variable Radio Group. Once one of the boxes on the VRG is checked, the NULL associated with the OKP has to be deleted out before starting to type. Which property command do I use to make the NULL go away so our people can type immediately and not have to delete the NULL manually? Jim
