Still looking for a way to do gotofield with tabbed tables and sections

I reported earlier that in v6 the source.GoToField LotusScript command no longer works when the target field is in a tabbed table.

I now find the problem also relates to the formula alternative @EditGoToField and both also fail when the target field is within a section as well as a tab. I found this out by trying to navigate to the SendTo field on the bookmark form in the mail template - pretty basic stuff huh?

Both these things work fine in v5.

Does anyone know if this is being looked at or if there is a viable workround? I’m waiting to roll out the v6 client in my place but this is holding us up.

Doesn’t work in the current release.

However, it seems to me that you should be able to do it using a programmable tabbed table. First switch the table to the desired tab, then gotofield. With sections, you would have to NotesUIDocument.ExpandAllSections first, I suppose. That will still work once the bug is fixed, so you could put it in your app and it should not prevent your rollout.
