Button Action 1

[VictorBull]

I need to use a button to allow a search from within a form to be made on a specific field. This is easy provided I first click on the search field.

What I really require is for the button to know which field to search on.

The field in question is a numeric field called URN and all I want to do is to allow the operator to click on the button and insert a URN to search on.

I do not seem to be able to get the button to search on the URN field without first clicking on the field within the form.

Any ideas please, this must be a very simple question, but I am new to Paradox. I am using version 9

I assume you are using a standard Locate button. Quickest solution is to insert a moveto() as the first command in the button's pushbutton method.

moveto(yourFieldName)
