Hi again, After much trial, and mostly error, I think I have what I need to make my form do what I want it do, EXCEPT.... PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln LASTCHAR 'TRUE' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln HIGHLIGHTFOCUS 'TRUE' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln HIGHLIGHTFOCUSCOLOR 'YELLOW' PROPERTY id_key_stroke_ln SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' RETURN I put the above statements in my AFTER START EEP. The only field I have on the form is a variable edit with a componenit id of id_key_stroke_ln When I start the form, I am in the field, with a blinking cursor, but it is white, not yellow. What am I doing wrong? Mike
