Adding a named anchor in a Lotus Notes Form

I am a novice notes hacker (very little lotus script) and I have designed a simple form in 8.5 with several fields and a few drop boxes. Because the form is quite long (lots of fields) I want to make some navigation buttons at the top, when clicked will take the user right top that section. I know in HTML this is called a "Named Anchor". For example, 3/4 of the way down the long form I have a section for leases. I want to put a button at the top of the form that say "Take me to the Lease Section" and when clicked by the user it brings them right to that section.
thx Experts...

You can do something similar by making a button that changes the focus to a field that is near the Lease Section. Use this syntax:

@Command( [EditGotoField] ; fieldName )

Tried this ThomasMcA2, when I go to use the button I get an error "unable to execute specified command". I double checked the field name, its correct, and I copy/pasted your command line only changing the field name.

That may happen if the document is in read mode. It needs to be in edit mode for the function to work.

I tried both way, just reading the document, and then dbl clicking the doc to go into edit mode, and same results...and I know I am in edit mode because I can change the field contents.

I see, your original post did not show the field name in quotes, like this example does. It works now...thanks so much....
