How do I stop the enter key from going to next record?

[Adam - Regus]

Hi,

I just created a form with a text box "COFFEE" and another box that I
use to calculate the price of the coffee , with each one being $12.50
"COFFEE PRICE".
All is good except that each time I input the value in the coffee box
ie. 1, and press enter, the form jumps to the next record. THe enter
key behaviour is set to default. It' must be some simple thing I'm
not doing and I would appreciate any help I can get!

Thanks,
Adam

For data entry people, the normal behavior is to hit enter to move to the
next control on the forms. When you reach the LAST field..then the record is
saved...and you are ready to enter the next new record.

However, you can change this hours. In the forms design mode, the "other"
tab you can set the "cycle" property...and if you set it to current
record..then the enter key will go round and round in the current form....

Albert,

Thanks for the response. I can't seem to find the "cycle" property.
Is this the property for the text box, or the entire form? Sorry for
the dumb questions, but I'm really new at this.

Thanks,
Adam

It is for the whole form....

So, you must select the "form" to see the properties. Two ways to do this
while in design mode

1) use the edit menu..and go

edit->select form

or
2) click on the upper left square in the form...

Now, view the properties sheet...and the other tab....."cycle" is the one
you want...
