        The triggers you are using 'PRE' are navigational triggers and most functions are illegal within them.

        If this is to happen on entry to the form use key-startup

        otherwise use the key-nxtblk trigger on the previous block.

        There is a discussion about the restricted functions in the v2.0 manuals.
