   As the name suggests should these properties control what field is given focus when adding / updating a record? These properties do not seem to work. I do have my fields on a Microsoft TableLayourPanel...is it possible this may cause it not to work?

   That sounds not right. Can you please create a ticket with a simple reproducible?

   Mike,
   
   Maybe I am confused. If I click on my Viewer there exists these properties but it only shows controls on the current form. I assume this is the control you want focus when creating updating so it allows the proper viewer to be shown. that does appear to work.
   
   Inside the Viewer I also have these same properties that will show all controls in the current viewer. I assume I set these to the actual editor control I want to have focus upon clicking add or update.
   
   Is that correct?

   The Visual Designer of the Form does not have access to the instances within the Viewer. 
   
   You can set those Properties within the Viewer.

   Mike,
   
   Again, I must be confused. I have those properties set within the viewer. I added logic to Enablefields within the viewer to see the value. The value was correct in the CONTSTRUCTOR but in EnableFields is was set to the Viewer instance. I then added logic in OnFocusControlOnAddChanged to see what was going on. 
   
   So, it was my confusion by setting this property to the Viewer within the form and then within the viewer to the actual control.
   
   Sorry for the confusion. I think I understand now...just took three cups of coffee!!
   
   thanks
