Form w several fields
1st field is item title
with cursor in data area enter some text
<F5> refresh
URp refreshes page & cursor jumps to first field & selects text in that field

Jan,

Although this is probably an annoyance, it's a pretty standard database function. In essence, the Refresh is giving a "fresh start" with the record - placing the cursor in the first field of the form. Granted, this may not be to one's liking....

Oh I don't mind that the cursor jumps to the first field. As you say that's expected behavior.

I mind that URp selects all the text in that field. This means, if the user is not paying attention, the next input will replace the first field.
