I am trying to set up some navigation on my form using command buttons - but I am running into problems 

I have set up a command button at the top of my form with the initial programing in the "on entry" tab

if @update goto elementname

In theory i belive this should take me to the element which it does in a way, (the cursor appears in the element)

However to get to the element I need to "page down" since the screen does not "move".

So
I included a PgDn command in the programming - so that it read

if @update goto elementname
PgDn

That didn't work either - still no screen movement

I then added a forceredraw() command to the programing so that it now reads

if @update goto elementname
PgDn
forceredraw()

That did'nt work either 

I also tried using throwfocus(elementname) - with the same results.

the target element is on a tabbed page - i don't know if this has any effect on the programing

- can anyone enlighten me ?

Many thanks in advance

In 1.0.4, the autoscrolling doesn't go if the element is on a tab page. It does in 1.0.5.

Also, an "if statement" without curly braces will only execute one following statement - so:

if @update goto elementname
PgDn
 

will execute either the "goto elementname" or the "PgDn" - but not both.

Also, the "goto" statement jumps completely out of the current programming. If the "goto" happens, the PgDn cannot. If a goto statement to another LE is executed it will always be the last thing the calling segment of programming will do.

Can we "goto" a tab page LE and have the target page open automatically?

I have a form view subform and can only get it to autochange pages if the target happens to be a command button.

I can't tab out of 1 text LE to another Text LE on a different page of the same (form view) subform.

Also, how would you 'goto' an LE on the parent form, from the subform?

Thanks,
Steve
