Entire Form does not display, can't scroll

June, you don't have to replicate it. Just view any references for shortcut keys. This is a good one - http://www.ddmcomputing.com/access/keys/acsk01.htm -. It shows that "To move to the current field in the next record" is the down arrow key for queries and is Ctrl+PgDn for Forms.

I don't see any reference to queries on that link nor the statement you cited. This link does have the statement http://www.ddmcomputing.com/access/keys/acsk03.htm. It refers to Navigating in Datasheet view and then farther down the page Navigating in Form view.

My form is in Datasheet view and arrow keys work just like in query.

Continuous or Single Form view is different story.

I think I might not be describing this properly. I want the down arrow to do exactly what the Ctrl+PgDn does. This is documentation from a site that describes all of the shortcut keys. (http://www.ddmcomputing.com/access/keys/acsk03.htm)

Navigating in Datasheet View: To move to the current field in the next record- DOWN ARROW


Navigating in Form View:

To move to the current field in the next record- CTRL+PAGE DOWN

What I want is for the DOWN ARROW to work just the way the CTRL+Page Down does when navigating Form view. (This isn't for the controls in the header, it is for the rows in the Detail section. So, the question is can I have the down arrow behave like the Ctrl+ PgDn. Currently the down arrow goes the the adjacent call in the same row.

You can simulate that behavior by trapping the keypress event of the subform and sending controlpagedown instead. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr.../ff194937.aspx

Not sure it's adviseable, but it's not hard...
