While designing applications based on GUI like Forms 4.5, no assumption should be based on navigation sequence,since the user could click anywhere on the screen and the form should be doing what the KEY-NXTFLD was doing in forms 3.0. Hence, always use WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM in place of KEY-NEXT-ITEM. This would ensure that whatever validations/actions that were happening in KEY-NXTFLD in forms 3.0 would always occur when the user tries to leave the field , by clicking anywhere else.

Ramesh
