mean? Could you post a screenshot or something so that we could see what you have (and, possibly, explain what would you want to have)?

When i opening a form at runtime it should point to the first record.
Eg i am having nearly 20 records.
User must be able to scroll down using the scroll bar from top to bottom
But at run time the form is scrolling automatically to last record hence user must scroll up
Could you pls help me
In the attached screen shot the green box is coming at bottom at runtime

Automatically?

If it means the following:
- you run a form
- it performs EXECUTE QUERY and populates a block with some 20 records
- focus is set to the last record
- now you have to scroll up to get to the first record

Well, that's not how Forms works. EXECUTE QUERY fetches records, but focus is set to the FIRST record. Here are some possible options:
  • you didn't populate the block with EXECUTE QUERY, but with some programming (such as in a LOOP). If that's the case, you should put FIRST_RECORD at the end of that piece of code.
  • you did populate it with EXECUTE QUERY, but then used LAST_RECORD. Obviously - remove LAST RECORD.
So, how does your form work? Perhaps there's an option I didn't mention (or I was completely wrong).

AFAIK you are correct... the behaviour you describe is standard forms, and the only way to lock onto a different record is to either use last record or loop through all the records untill you hit the last record ( or the record you want to display).

I use a cursor to fetch records using loop
It retrieves all records from db and put in the text fields
But i am unsure what i should do to retrieve all records and just focus on the first record and user must scroll down to see all the records

See the first point in my previous message (i.e. FIRST_RECORD at the end of your code).
