Continuous (Tabular) Forms: How to Move to Next Record, Same Field with Keystroke

[whdyck]

I'm using MS Access 2003.

I've noticed that with a form in Continuous (Tabular) View, when I click the DownArrow on my keyboard, the focus does not move to the next record, same column, as it does when in Datasheet view.

I want to use Continuous view because I need to put command buttons on each record.

Is there a way to make it behave this way?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Press Enter Key and try.

If not working then:

Check for the Option: Enter Key Behavior in the Tools Menu in Access2003 and set Next Record under the Move after Enter option group.

That works great. Never thought it would be so simple.

It's too bad that selecting that option doesn't also go to same field in previous record when pressing Shift+Enter (or something like that).

But hey, this will do the trick.

Thanks!
