Trapping Keystrokes on a DAP

[Linda]

First, I would like to know if this is the right group to
post a question regarding DAPs. It would be really nice
to have a seperate group for DAP questions. I use DAPs
for our Intranet and would like to trap the ENTER key in
certain input fields and have it act like a TAB key. I
can find how to do this on a form but I cannot make it
work on a page. Any help would be appreciated!

You mean, like microsoft.public.access.dataaccess.pages? If so, there is
one.

It's not likely to be much help, but the reason you cannot is that a Form
executes on the user's computer and you can intercept keystrokes. DAPs
execute on the server, with user input coming from the browser -- they are a
"thinner client" model than Access application UIs.

As far as I know, you cannot do what you want, but, with luck, someone in
comp.public.access.dataaccess.pages might offer a suggestion that would
satisfy the application need.
