Navigation order adversely affected

I have a simple translated Q&A form. The Navigation Order does not respond properly to the "Change Navigation Order" menu commands in Sesame Designer. Research indicates use of "ThrowFocus".  Is this the only means available to me to correct this problem?

As always all help is very much appreciated.

Hello Cliff,

What do you mean by "The Navigation Order does not respond properly to the "Change Navigation Order" menu commands in Sesame Designer"?

What problem are you seeing?

We have approximately 60 fields.  When tabbing through the first eight or so we are ok.  However on the behavior then changes where the sixth field is selected when tabbing to what should be the ninth field.  After that the tabbing loops between the sixth, seventh and eighth fields.  If I click on the ninth field and then tab down the form works fine till about the 45th field where this behavior occurs again.  However in the second instance one of the "errant" fields is not selectable at all using the tab key.

I have tried playing with the navigation order of these fields, mixing them up then reorienting them the way they should be to see if I could overcome the problem.  If I leave the fields in any "new" order other than the desired one I am able to tab between them.  However, reorienting them to their correct position recreates the problem.

I hope that this is clear as it is a rather difficult thing to describe.  Please let me know if you need more information or have any questions...

Again...thanks!

Cliff

Hello Cliff,

Does your Form having any programming that is using GoTo to move to a different field?

One easy way to test this is to open the Program Editor
Type the words "Bad Code"
Close the Program Editor
Save the Layout Design
Open Preview Application
Open your form in Add Data Mode
You will get a message that says something like "The programming has failed to compile....."
Click Ok

If the Tab order now works correctly, then exit Preview mode, open the Editor, remove the "Bad Code" and look through your programmed events to see which ones are using GoTo.
