MS Access Forum / Forms / February 2006Enter Key behaviour
I want to control the actions of the Enter key. I have a form that wants to go to the next record when the Enter key is hit, but I just want it to go to the next control till it gets to the last control, THEN go to the next record. Please tell me there is a form property to control this. Paul Hammond Richmond, VA Set the Tab Order of each field, and set it to the order you want, until the last field. When you get to the last field in that order it will move to the next record When you are in form design, select from the menu bar view > Tab Order, to see the order you have now and change it to the order you want. or change the property of each field  SignatureIf I answered your question, please mark it as an answer. That way, it will stay saved for a longer time, so other can benifit from it. Good luck > I want to control the actions of the Enter key.

Everytime I hit the Enter key it wants to go to the next record. I have the tab order already set the way I want it. Since my table does not allow nulls in most fields, I am getting errors.

It's on the Other Tab. Are all of the other controls enabled and not locked? SignatureFred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail Form's Cycle property IS set to All Records There are some controls that are locked. Paul > > I want to control the actions of the Enter key.

I selected Tools/Options/Keyboard in the MS-Access toolbar and then selected "Don't move" radio button in the "Move After Enter" box. Of course, now I have to go to the next record manually but it works for me. Dave |
