Problem with Forms

To make my forms as idiot proof as possible I need to add something. During
testing, I entered
test data through my forms and noticed out of habit I often hit the enter key
instead of the tab key to move from one field to the next. I typed the date
in the first field, hit enter, and it created a new record instead of going
to
the next field in the form. Do you have code that will cause the form to
treat the enter key as if it were the tab key and send the cursor to the
following field, or even to disble the enter key all together. The users for
this database range from novice to less than novice.

In the form's design view, go to the Other tab on the property sheet and set
the Cycle property to: Current Record
