Allo folks!

How about I finish my posts instead of submitted by accident now?

I have an edit line followed by an edit table, in that order, in the control map.

So my table, in the first column, has a colstyle send_message to make it a drop down as follows:

ColStyle =Send_Message(EditTable, "COLSTYLE", 1)

ColStyle =BitOr(ColStyle, 0x20000)

ColStyle =Send_Message(EditTable, "COLSTYLE", 1, ColStyle)

ColFormat=Send_Message(EditTable, "COLFORMAT", 1, Options)

However, when I enter the record key into the first edit line, it sends focus to the edit_table as expected, but then promptly loses focus of any kind at all after reading the record and loading the form. The only ways I can make the table receive focus after the read are to 1) Make a dummy column of size 0 in the table as the first column or 2) remove the style message all together and use some other form of selecting the contents for the first column. Neither of these is preferable for the users for various reasons.

Has anybody experienced this problem? I searched and couldn't find any topics that seemed to cover it. Looking forward to any thoughts, opinions, or even confirmations that I'm screwed and will have to find another way to do this.

thanks all!

Cully-

Why don't you post this over in the Works forum- you'll likely get better responses there.
