I want to be able to press Alt+R to jump from any field in my database to one
specific field. I tried playing around with the events on the form level but
could not figure it out.

Thanks Arend

On a Form: you can set the Accelerator key of a control. Set the caption to
&Ryadayada. The & will not appear in the Caption on the form but the R will
appear underlined. ALT + R will jump to that control. For text boxes, etc.,
this applies to the caption of the related label. For command buttons, it
applies to the caption of the button itself.

This is standard, conventional Windows behavior: an underlined characters =
the "jump to" value for that control.
