Text not displaying in a textbox

[Damo10]

Hi,

I have a created a form which has several textboxes, the issue I have is that when the user types the data in the textbox and presses enter on the keyboard the data is not displayed until they go to the next text box.

How can I change it so that the text displays all the time?

What happens when enter is pressed? Surely focus is set on the next control having a tab stop, regardless of what type control, maybe even a new record depending on the form cycle property.

I've used Access 30years and have never seen this. Check the textbox_AfterUpdate event code of that form control. I suspect something is happening.

Hi,

When enter is pressed it shows a blank textbox, it is not until the next textbox is selected or tabbed to that the text displays.

There are no afterupdate events

Is there code for the AfterUpdate event? Where's focus after enter is pressed?

I have tried putting an afterevent code in to setfocus on the next textbox but that does not work.

When enter is pressed the focus is still in the same textbox

Can you post your database, maybe just the offending form and record source. Identify the offending textbox.

Is there only one control on the form to enter or select data? What is the forms Cycle property?

Had the Enter key been disabled?

What is Enter set up to do when it is pressed?
Look under "File"->"Options"->"Client Settings", "Move After Enter"

It is set to move to next field when enter is pressed.

I have found out why, in the textbox properties on the other tab under enter key behaviour it was set to new line in filed instead of default.

Thanks for your help
