Hi
I have a form that will enter data into a table. The thing is that when you press tab to switch between fields(as most people would tend to do in my world) it does not save the information I input. The only way it saves it is if I press enter, so I was wondering if it were possible to make it so that when you press enter it acts as tab... any ideas?!
 
taosd,

TAB will always move you from field to field. The behaviour of
the Enter key depends on: Tools --> Options --> Keyboard
settings; don't move, next field, next record.

Make sure to check Pat's comment above. The tab key will not
remove data, the fields must be bound, check the control source
in design mode.

binding fields makes for errors in my data because of how my forms are set up, see following post for picture...
