Another question from me - I have a text item within 1 datablock called "Project" that i use to enter a query value via a LOV or manually entering the value of 3 character (GBR) & then 3 numerical values. But now i want a triger or something to run the query automaticlly, saving the need to press a query button once 6 characters have been entered into the text item & then if records are found move the cursor to another datablock to enable the user to insert some data. Can this be done? if so, how?
All assistance welcome, Thanks in advance.

hi CreativePresence !!!

1. set the maximum length property of ur field (used to query) to 6 ,
2. write
do_key('execute_query');
in the "WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE" trigger of a navigable item which is next to ur field (used to query).

best regards,
