Hi I'm new to the forums and was hoping someone out there can help me with my problems.

I have two problems.

1) Firstly I made a form with a subform in it, now the subform has five columns, I would like to assign a key that when the operator has finished keying the info in the subform, he/she can press the key and jump to the next field which is on the parent form. Currently they have to press the Enter key or the Tab key at least five times before going to the next field or use the mouse.

2) Next I have a view mode where the operator can view records, but not edit the data. I would like to use a command button that once pressed would unlock the record and allow editing once the need arises.

Can someone help me with these two problems.
 
Thanks Tay I'll try it
 
Hopefully this helps with the first section of your question....
On the field to where you would like to go after completing the subform........
1.) Right click
2.)Properties
3.)Tab Index
Set this to the consecutive number following your last field that you complete on your subform. Hope this is what your asking about.

Got thru withe the first one, a friend of mine, told me to use autokeys. I did it and it works good enough.

Thanks for your input Kacy

Still having trouble with the scond part, My VB isn't really good so couldn't change the code to suit my needs
 
Hi

You shouldn't really have to change much, other than to put the name of your form in.
If you are still stuck, post again. If I can do it - you can!;)
