- (I'm using Forms 3.) I've been trying to get the Field Editor to start up
- automatically upon entry of one of my fields. I've tried calling the
- packaged procedure EDIT_FIELD in both KEY-NXTFLD and PRE-FIELD triggers and
- neither of them works. My situation is like this:
-
- FIELD SEQ NO
- Building_Code 3
- Address 4
-
- I attached the KEY-NXTFLD trigger to Building_Code but even with a go_field,
- I get stuck editing the Building_Code field. With the PRE-FIELD trigger,
- I can a run-time error of:
-
- FRM-40737: Illegal restricted procedure EDIT_FIELD in PRE-FIELD trigger.
-
- I've gone through all the triggers and I can't see which other triggers I can
- use to auto-start the field editor. Is this possible? Thanks for any help.

- George
