Hi,

We are looking to redevelop a major application for a client and as part of a pilot project I have developed a maintenance form that uses a listview with a child form. The users of our existing application are used to being able to do what they need via the keyboard with minimal use of the mouse.

I examined the Strataflix sample and developed the form using the same techniques as the Movie Database maintenance form. The problem we have is if the user presses downarrow after successfully editing a child record they are positioned on the first record in the listview not the record below the highlighted record that has just been edited.

This can be replicated in the Strataflix application as follows:

1. Choose the Movie Database and select the Find a Movie option

2. Enter "Gone with the Wind" in the browse dialogue, click search and choose the first movie listed

3. In the Cast Members list select  "Leigh, Vivien"

4. Click edit

5. Change the character name to "Scarlett O'Hara"

6. Click OK - the listview is updated and Vivien Leigh is highlighted and displayed correctly

7. Press downarrow

8. The listview highlights the first record in the list not the record below Vivien Leigh.

I suspect that the Listview is losing focus but have not been able to rectify the behaviour - any suggestions appreciated,

TIA

Andy
