Making Enter key work like Tab

W

Wylie C

Is there any way to have the Enter key work like the Tab key on an Access form?
If pseudocode is needed, I would appreciate the entire code.

Thank you very much.

Wylie,

In many cases, the Enter key and the Tab key have the same effect. An
example of where this is not the case is when a Command Button has the
focus. Maybe you could say something more specific about what you are
trying to achieve? And also, what is pseudocode?

Normally on a form you have to press the tab key to move from field1 to
field2, etc.. Wanting to move from field to field using the enter key instead.

Unless you change it that is the default behavior for the Enter key.

Wylie,

Just to expand slightly on Rick's comment, one place where this could
have been changed is in the 'Enter Key Behavior' property of any
particular textbox.
