Using Enter Key to move from field to field

[Dave Eliot]

I've created two forms in the same database. In the first form I must use
Tab to move through the fields -- the second form allows the use of the
Enter Key. How can I get the first form to accept the Enter Key? Right now
if I push Enter by mistake in the first form it erases the text (but if I do
"undo" the text is restored.). I can't find where to set this.

FYI - I have a totally different database where the form also allows the
Enter Key to be used to move from field to field.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Dave,

This is an option you can set under tools - options. Look for the option
called "Move after enter".

"Move after enter (to next field)" is selected in tools. And it's only on
this one form that enter erases (from right to left) whatever is in the
field.
