	Forgive me if this seems a trivial question, but I do not 
	have any people at our site with SQL*Forms experience. 

	I am trying to set up a form which has a field in it which
	I want to skip ONLY if the user is entering a new record.
	This field is between other fields in the new record.

	I thought I would use a ON-NEW-FIELD-INSTANCE trigger on
	the field with trigger code something like...

		if (:system.record_status = 'NEW' or
	    	    :system.record_status = 'INSERT') then 
	          next_field;
	        end if;

	The problem is I want the cursor to continue navigating in 
	its original direction regardless of whether I enter this
	field from the previous field or the next field.

	Is there an easy way to do this ?? 

	Thanks in advance for any assistance !! (BTW, e-mail would be
	prefered as I dont get a chance to read this group regularly...)
