Enter Key behaviour

[Guest]

I want to control the actions of the Enter key. I have a form that wants to
go to the next record when the Enter key is hit, but I just want it to go to
the next control till it gets to the last control, THEN go to the next record.

Please tell me there is a form property to control this.

Set the Tab Order of each field, and set it to the order you want, until the
last field.
When you get to the last field in that order it will move to the next record
When you are in form design, select from the menu bar view > Tab Order, to
see the order you have now and change it to the order you want.
or change the property of each field

This is not working. Everytime I hit the Enter key it wants to go to the
next record. I have the tab order already set the way I want it. Since my
table does not allow nulls in most fields, I am getting errors.

From your menu bar: Tools->Options->Keyboard
Under Move After Enter, Click Next Field.
Note, this will affect all forms in your application.

Is there a way to set this programatically?

Did you set the Form's Cycle property to All Records?
It's on the Other Tab.
Are all of the other controls enabled and not locked?

Form's Cycle property IS set to All Records

There are some controls that are locked.
