AutoTab (1 Viewer)

I know it's a not a "regular" option with drop-down lists, but I'd give my eye teeth to be able to AutoTab to the next field after selecting from a drop-down list. Is there any way to do this?

Not a fancy way of doing it, but on the combo box after update event, why not use
DoCmd.GoToControl "nextfieldname"

Well ... that worked beautifull! It works when I drop the list down and make my selection, but is there a way to do it if I just type in my selection? The fields are only two characters long and the users have them memorized, so it's faster to type in the field than drop down the list.

Thanks SO much.

How will the combo box know that you've finished typing in it if you don't manually tab to the next field?

You can do this, BUT you will have to use a text box with an input mask and it's AutoTab set to Yes.

Obviously you will use the combo's rowsource which you could replace with code, i.e Findfirst action.
