Hii all

i have a problem that is related to a menu i created
that menu contain an "update" button
when i press on it, it enables the update on the field that the cursor is on it

the problem is that when i press update
it open the update
and then i press enter it goes to the next item and i can update
but if that item is the last in the record
and i press enter it doesnot go to the next record
i must press up then down again on the keyborad
or go to the next item by mouse
this happens for one time only
as after that it doesnot make this problem

this problem happens only on my computer
i tried it from another computer but it doesnot happen

maybe you're using a different key mapping?

you can define different key mappings for each workstation with resource files ...

you can re-define the default forms function keys by using resource files.

forms uses these files at runtime, so you are able to define different key mappings for different workstations.

for instance F8 is default "Execute Query". you may map this function to F2.

this is only theory: i'm sorry but i have no experience with this ...

Which enter key are you pressing? The one on the alpha part of the keyboard or the numeric keypad enter?

Your PC - what operating system and which version of Forms?

Other PC - what operating system and which version of Forms?

Were both machines set up at the same time? How were they set up? A separate install or via a silent install or by a hard-drive image copy?

Do the two PCs run the same regional language setting?

Do the PCs access a shared network drive that contains the forms, or do they each have their own copy of the form, or are you using a common application server?

Is this a development or production environment?

Normally I would expect that the navigation, as you describe it, would be due to one copy of the form having the block property set to 'change_record' and the other form having it set to 'same_record'.

What we have to work out is if it is possible that your PC is working from its own copy which is just slightly different to the copy that everyone else is using.
