Initial Field Selection

[blakenielson1]

I have a detail page that is opened from a subfile. When the detail page is opened the cursor is positioned to the last field on the screen. I have set a tab index for the first field on the screen but It has not effect.

How do I change this?

The cursor position can be set by a variety of things the most common are the "set focus" property, as well as grid methods such as "subfile record number". Or, of course, if you click the "elements" tab, you can control the sequence of the fields (perhaps the one that's visibly the last element on the screen, is the first one in the elements tab)

The tab index is not related to where the cursor is positioned -- and, frankly, is a property I would strongly discourage you from ever using. It only serves a purpose under unusual circumstances...
