How to auto-start the field editor...

(I'm using Forms 3.) I've been trying to get the Field Editor to start up automatically upon entry of one of my fields. I've tried calling the packaged procedure EDIT_FIELD in both KEY-NXTFLD and PRE-FIELD triggers and neither of them works. My situation is like this:

  FIELD SEQ NO
  Building_Code 3
  Address 4

I attached the KEY-NXTFLD trigger to Building_Code but even with a go_field, I get stuck editing the Building_Code field. With the PRE-FIELD trigger, I can a run-time error of:

  FRM-40737: Illegal restricted procedure EDIT_FIELD in PRE-FIELD trigger.

I've gone through all the triggers and I can't see which other triggers I can use to auto-start the field editor. Is this possible? Thanks for any help.
