How to automatically move cursor from one field to the next

How do you configure it so when you are done type in a field that has a set
number of characters, like a phone number, it automatically tabs to the next
field so you don't have to hit your tab button?

Thanks

Set the control's AutoTab property to Yes. You must have an Input Mask for
the control to make it work.

Set the text box's AutoTab property to Yes. Note that
according to Help, this setting will only apply when you
also set the text box's InputMask property. Be sure to read
Help on both these topics.

And, be sure to get the potential users' opinion on InputMask, give them a
sample to try . . . many users find it a "pain" and complain bitterly if you
use it!
