    Create link to another section in same form


    is there a way to create a link to go to another location in a large form. I have looked at the hyperlink dialogue but I don't see a way to do it. I am basically looking to be able to send a user to the bottom of the form, and from there a link that will send them back to the top of the form.

    In an appropriate event you can just set Focus to a Control near the bottom of the Form:

    BottomControl.SetFocus

    and reverse the process to go to the top of the Form.

    But I have to tell you, making a Form so long that it requires scrolling or code like this to negotiate the Form is very user-unfriendly! You'd usually be better off using a Tabbed Control with multiple pages to display the Controls.

    How many Controls do you have on this Form?

    It is really more of a resolution issue than anything else. The boss has 27" imac with 1920x1080 and a few of the account staff are still at 1024x768.
    So most of it is fields of data that are not used as often and they want them on the same page but kind of out of hte way at the bottom.

    I added a To Bottom and To Top button and set the action to gotocontrol and it worked fine.
    Thanks
