Data Entry field control

[Will Adkin]

Hi George

Try putting it in quotes: i.e:

> Set reference rField to $cinst.$objs.$findname(‘JobCust')

If that fails then make sure that the location of this code is the window that contains the field (i.e. $cinst=containing window) 

if you still can’t set a reference to your entry field then perhaps your filed is contained inside some other object? i.e. a tab pane or a group box… the notation must be exact - if $cinst is your window and the field is in a tab pane called MyTabPane then you would use the following to get a reference

> Set reference rField to $cinst.$objs.MyTabPane.$objs.$findname(‘JobCust’)

Kind regards
