GOTO RECORD ON CLOSE OF MODULAR FORM

[Jeannie]

I need to goto a combo box on a master form after closing a modular form.

What event do I attach my goto control macro? I have tried On Close, On
Unload, On Deactivate. None of them work. It appears that the form doesn't
actually close before these macros begin working.
Thanks!

Jeannie,

You could try the Activate event of the master form.

If you are using an event on the modal (I assume you mean) form, then
you may need to use a SelectObject action to set the focus to the master
form.

I used a SelectObject and it worked if I did a goto on the detail area of the
form. this combo is sitting on the form header. Is there a way of moving
the cursor to the form header first, then the combo box?
Thanks

Jeannie,

No, there is no provision for that.

It shouldn't make any difference that the combobox is in the header of
the form. The GoToControl action should find it.
