Mark,

I do believe we haven't understood each other due to terminology. Based on what you posted here, when I say "focus", I actually mean "current LE", I think.

I guess what I was asking, was if there is a way for subforms to simply display the field information without actually needing the "current LE" status to be in one of the subform elements as it creates the rows of a table view subform. Because with true focus (cursor in element) on a main form, the subform entry events are executing as the main form is advanced. Is it possible to have "NO current LE"? Or while focus is actually in the main form, maybe programming should be deactivated for the subform (similar to Shift-F6), and activated when focus is placed in the subform.

If not, maybe we simply need to use the workaround that I am using. I have an On Form Exit event with a goto command that sends "current LE" status to an element that has absolutely no programming in it. That seems to have solved my problem.

(I understand that it must be very difficult to predict every way users will try to bend and twist Sesame. And I don't envy the pressure you must be under to please everyone's personal preferences. I appreciate your commitment and effort to continue to put up with us and our whining. )

It's in the subform. ([FormName] :: On Form Exit)

And I put it in an EXIT event, because that way I can be sure which element has "current" status before entering the next form. (Usually, Form On Form Entry executes before Element On Form Entry, but I seem to remember it happening in the opposite order once. So, to be SURE, I put it in the exit event.)
