| Syntax | ChangeObject ObjectExpression |
| Action | [Statement] Moves the form's input focus cursor to an object on the current page. |
| Scope | Only usable in form methods. |
| Notes | This statement allows you to select an object on a form; the argument, ObjectExpression, is its object name. Note that an object name is a string. If supplied as a constant, it must be enclosed in quotation marks. This statement is useful for changing the field entry order. If the user enters an invalid field value, you could use this statement to move the input focus back onto the field. If the object cannot be located, an error number is stored in the system workarea SysError. |
