The onfocus statement declares that the statements following it are executed when a form, roster, or field becomes active.

Statements in an onfocus procedure are executed when you move onto the object in which they are coded. When moving forward, any preproc statements are executed before the onfocus statements. However, when moving backward, the preproc statements are not executed and only the onfocus statements are executed.
