Access SETFOCUS question

[ABAPer]

In the course of programming a timesheet, I must tally both columns and rows for total hours. I would like to tally these numbers as the hours are being entered. But in order to achieve this, I placed the code in the AFTERUPDATE event requiring that I SETFOCUS many times. The problem is...I don't know where the true SETFOCUS should be when I'm done. The AFTERUPDATE event is triggered on Enter, Tab or Cursor movement. Is there a way to capture the intended next field during an AFTERUPDATE event?

Thanks,

Ken

If the form or report element has a name you can set the focus to any of these items using Afterupdate. You can also write a procedure that will run and once it finishes you can set the focus anywhere you like.

Setting Focus is not the problem. The problem is trying to figure what field the user clicked one in the AFTERUPDATE event.

I have a subform when 10 rows and several columns for the days of the week. I want a total at the end of each row and column. The user clicks on the "Monday" column in the first row and enters a number. The user then moves the cursor to the "Tuesday" column of the first row and click the mouse. The Monday's AFTERUPDATE is executed where the SETFOCUS moves to many locations to tally the total hours. My problem is how do I figure out the user clicked on the Tuesday cell? When the code first starts, it appears the focus is still on Monday.

I hope I have described my problem with enough detail.

Thanks,

Ken

I get it...lemme think on this one.

Could you post a screen shot of your data entry page for a better idea of the input procedures?
