auto-jump to next field

[shank]

I have some text boxes like phone numbers that hold a definitive amount of
characters. Assume an area code box. How do I get the cursor to jump to the
next field when the user hits the 3rd digit?

thanks!

Set the Tab Stop property of the control to Yes.

I believe you meant the AutoTab property.

Yes, it was AutoTab.
However, that lead me to custom input masks for the State field. I can set
the control input mask to 2 characters with 'AA'. But how do I convert
lowercase to uppercase on the fly? '>AA' and 'AA>' don't seem to work.
thanks

In the after Update event put
State = UCase(State)
