    Help with entering data & going to next field

    For personal preferences I work with a lot of Forms in Datasheet View. I have this one dbs where in this one Form after I enter data in any given field & then hit the “Enter” key it stays within the field vs. going to the next field. My fields are short text (under 50), yet when I hit the “Enter” key it doesn’t move to the next field unlike in ALL of my other Forms. I might of unknowingly & accidently changed something in the Property Sheet. Can anyone understand my issue & tell me how to rectify it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Check the Enter Key Behavior property of the textbox.

    If first suggestion does not work, go to properties. Make sure tab stop is set to TRUE and make sure the tab order is arranged like you want it.
