Help please guys; I'm using go_item to open the canvas but the cursor doesnt want to focus on the item. I have to mouse click the item before I can enter any data or tab through it.

Is there any difference if you specify a block name? Such as

go_item('block_name.that_item');

Is there any SET_ITEM_PROPERTY that modifies item's (you are trying to navigate to) properties? If so, when is it set?

What trigger is that code in?
Are you in enter-query mode when it's fired?
Are both blocks the same block?
What's the canvases raise on entry property set to?

No set item properties fot that specific item but I do have for other items. data blocks are diff. the code is in WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE of the from item. the form is not in the query mode. Canvas raised on entry is a NO as for destination of the cursor am not sure but I can tell you its in that item i'm navigating to, the item is selected(changed color to show that cursor should focus there) but I cnt update until I click on it.

No diff, you know what really strange abt this, I have two ways to get to my item:
1. when I tab into my FROM item, its goes to my TO item, thats works fine, I can update the TO item without having to mouse click first.
2. when I click my FROM item still opens my TO item but this time it doesnt allow me to update without having to click the item first...hope you get what I'm trying to say.

You should check your code. I think that your navigation/focus is send to a different item.

FROM item runs the same code for both cases,
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE has go_item('TO_item_name') meaning when you tab into the FROM item it takes you to my TO item even when you click the FROM item its still going to run the same code.
