Hi all!  
I have run into a interesting situation. I have use this code before to popup a box to tell the user after a few tries that they need to enter a value and send them back to the current field. I have stayed away from goto command after what  I have read here on the fourm.  

This code below work fine on a normal text box but when I use it on a field  with three radio buttons it goes through it three @msg and returns to the current field (language) however when the user clicks on the ok on the @msgbox it goes not to the current field but to the first field on the form. Anyone know why it does this and how to fix it?  Thanks!  Frederick  

vEntryErrorCount is a static variable called in the Global Code for the form.

// Check to make sure that this element is not blank.
if @isblank(ThisElement) then vEntryErrorCount = vEntryErrorCount + 1 //Error variable counts a few times before getting in the users face
if @isblank(ThisElement) and (vEntryErrorCount > 3) then {
@MsgBox("You seem to be having some trouble here.","You must enter a language.","Without it this record is useless!")
}
if @isblank(ThisElement) then {
@msg("WARNING!  THIS FIELD NEEDS A LANGUAGE")
@Play("Beep")
throwfocus(ThisElement)
}

//If all is well and we are moving on set the error counter variable to 0
if (not @isblank(ThisElement)) then {
vEntryErrorCount = 0
Cnext
}
 

I am using Version 1.1.3 for Linux for newer linuxes.

I created a new database and added four elements:

test  textbox
test2 radio button group
test3 textbox
test4 textbox

I added three radio buttons to test2.

I dropped the code above in all four fields on element  exit programming.
Global code to declare the static variable:

stat vEntryErrorCount = 0  // Variable to be used to count Entry try errors

The results are exactly the same. I can tab through and get the error @msg and @msgbox on the text box fields but the radio button group after pressing enter to answer OK to the @msgbox it sends me back to the first field on the form.

Thanks again for any help!

Thanks  Ray!

Good to know that I am not programing crazy things  and that it happens to you too.
