Hi Norm, A quick workaround I've found with the tab order issue for façade fields is: - Place all façade fields at the end of the tab order - Create an active link which fires Gain Focus for the first façade field The active link should set focus to the first item in the tab order
This still allows for a user to click any façade fields other than the first, and set focus to those, but it's an effective workaround for most instances.

The issue is, in order for the "façade" field to be seen, it obviously has to be unhidden. The problem there is, it can then be accessed via the tab key. Unfortunately there is no way to remove visible fields from the tab order. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Reiser, John J Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 9:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Toggling Display as Text Norm, How about a zTMP_Display_Only field set as text and your regular field. Swap them out when needed and populate the DO filed with the appropriate text. Stack them and use Change filed actions to alter the visibility. HTH, John J.

I have a couple fields on a form that in CREATE and MODIFY mode need to be displayed as text. In SEARCH mode, however, it needs to be displayed as a normal field so the tech can see he can type in it to run a search. It would be nice if I could do a simple change fields action in an AL, but that's not an option in 6.3. So...any ideas? The only thing I can think of so far is making an image of normal fields, placing it under the fields in question, and then showing it only when Mode = Query. If someone has a more elegant solution, I'd appreciate it.
