Access 2000
I've created 1 table and 1 form for that table.
On this form that others will be using, there are many fields.
Is there a way to change the indexing from the "tab" key to
the "enter" key?

Thanks
Tom
p.s. Is the most recent version of Access more friendlier to
those of us not computer inclined?

If what you mean is that you want the cursor to move to the next field when
the user presses the Enter key, go to Tools > Options, and click the
Keyboard tab. In the Move After Enter section, click the radio button next
to Next Field.
Regarding your p.s., I couldn't say, being unfamiliar with later versions.
However, if you are having difficulties with a feature, a specific question
would be most likely to elicit a helpful response.

Regarding newer versions:

I have learnt access with the latest, and have found that although the
wizards are quite handy, they rarely do what you need and that Access
generally is not freindly to anyone to begin with, even those with good
computer experience like myself.

It took me a good few months before have manged to fully understand whats
goin on, and build a resonably complex database.

Even now i have been using access every day now for about a year, i'm still
learning loads. My advise would be to look at what others do from great sites
like these:

http://www.rogersaccesslibrary.com/TableOfContents3.asp

http://www.mvps.org/access/

And use this forum to find and ask questions.

Good Luck!

Roger's Access Library (included in rico's posting) includes a page of links
to other developers' libraries. There are many others. At the risk of
slighting those who have contributed considerable time and expertise to this
forum, Stephen Lebans' contributions, including especially the free code he
has made available on his web site, are remarkable. Browse the newsgroups,
or search through Google Groups for specific topics. You will find many
other links as well.
