	Just a small problem I'm having that I'm sure someone has run into or can help with. I have an invoice form with a subform that has line items. On retrieve spec, I would like to make it impossible for a user to put search criteria in the subform, other than in the 'spacer' field. I have tried using: If @mode() = 2 Then throwFocus(Spacer) where spacer is a blank field in the subform. I placed this code in one of the subform fields in On Retieve Spec Open and On Element Entry but it only seems to throwFocus to spacer the first time the subform field is clicked on. I'm sure I'm missing something here. Any suggestions? Thanks

	Hello, When you first enter the Invoice form the focus is going to be on the parent Form, so you will have to click in the subform in order for it to have focus to throw to the spacer element. If you want to disallow all searches on the subform except in the spacer element, which as I understood in your other post is always blank, why not just hide the subform at the retrieve spec using SubformVisiblity()? -Ray

	Works like a charm! Thanks Ray. I was just wondering though, once focus is on the subform, shouldn't throwFocus work on element entry all the time, not just once? Thanks again. Don

	Hello Don, Yes and it does, if you are in the right mode. On element entry only fires if you are in Add Data or Update mode, It does not fire in Search mode. There is an exception to that and that exception is command buttons which work in all three modes. The reason it is working once is because of the same code being in the On Retrieve Spec Open event which is the ThrowFocus that is actually running. -Ray

	Ahhh, I didn't realise that On element entry doesn't work in search mode. Thanks for your help once again Ray. Don
