    Search Question

    I have a simple search form and sub-form: When 'search text' is entered and the 'Search button' is clicked, displays the results in the subform.



    Is it possible to configure the 'search text box' to activate the search on pressing the Enter key once?

    Currently doing that tabs to the Search button.

    Thanks in advance

    Stephen

    You can use the after update event of the textbox.

    Many thanks - that worked a treat

    I can't see how to mark it solved, most likely I am just blind but let me know and I will update the post.

    Sorry but I can't see where you mark it solved.

    Happy to help, and welcome to the site! At the top of the thread is "Thread Tools", which is where the option hides. I went ahead and did it.
