Thanks for the reply Peter
My apologies - I should have mentioned this - but the screen is a subfile and that particular field is on ALL the lines on the display

Hi Alan,

If the idea is that they want to prompt that field with a function key, why not just use a specific function key for that field instead of F4? Leave the field output only.  It won't matter where the cursor is.

Of course a Hidden Field in the DDS takes up no real estate on the screen and could be used to put back the value if altered. Just compare the two fields and if different put the Hidden field value back in the Display field.
