enter key problem

[Guest]

I have a form that gets data for a query's three fields. client requests to
hit enter to move between fields after entering paramters. I have gone into
options and selected the "move after enter" property to be "move to next
field". However it isn't working - continues to go to the next line. i
tried to go into each field's properties to change the enter key behavior,
but the only options are default and new line in field. default works for
the last field, but what do i do for the first two fields?

Pretty hard to nail down without seeing the form but...

Are you moving on a record of a continuous form? Sounds like it...

1. Is each field's TabStop set to Yes, and is the TabOrder set correctly.
2. Try setting the Cycle property for the Form itself to CurrentRecord,
and see how that effects the problem.
3. Is each field Enabled? (I would imagine so, since you input to them)
4. Is there any event code within those 3 fields that might cause the
problem, like OnEnter or OnExit

Thanks for the suggestions, but to no avail. I don't know if it is a
continuous form. each field's Tab Stop is set to Yes, the Tab Order is
correct, each field is enabled, there is no event on any of the fields.
Changed the Form's Cycle property as suggested but nothing different.
Form is like this:
[Full House] (Unbound)
[Street Name] (Unbound)
[City] (Unbound)
then there is the command button to open the query and pull matching records.
thanks again

alavaz17,
Well, we could continue guessing... Can you send me the file? (Compacted
and zipped)
Or, send just the table/query/form invovled in the problem?
If you do send, please indicate in your email exactly where the problem
is.
Post back here as soon as you send, so I can be on the lookout for it. I
have pretty aggresive Spam prevention.

You can send it through my Contact Me on the website below...
