Preventing Tab key from moving to next record

Guest

Hello,

How can I prevent the Tab key from moving to the next record after the data
entry person has tabbed thru all the fields on the current record? It can be
a bit confusing when you move to the next record using the Tab key-- we'll
have them move to different records via the Record Navigation buttons at the
bottom or by putting in a Search capability.

Thanks.

Set the Cycle property of the form to This Record.

Before you do that, you may want to check with whoever is entering the data.
Most good data entry people hate having to go for the mouse to change
record, as they are so fast with the keyboard.
