MS Access Forum / General 2 / January 2008Changing the way you navigate through a table
Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to have the enter key move you down to the next cell in the column, as opposed to over to the next cell in the row. Thanks. This newsgroup supports Microsoft Access. It sounds like you're working in a spreadsheet. Try one of those newsgroups...

Access tables store data, but they don't work as well as Access forms for data entry. You've described "how" you are trying to do something, but not "what". If you'll describe a bit more specifically what being able to do what you posted will allow you/your users to do, the folks here in the groups may be able to offer a more functional alternative.

However, if you are using forms for other users, this can create two problems - the user might not want to go to the next record, and you might have a default key on the form which would be activated by the <enter>.
