Hello,
I made a form for use in touch screen app. I would like to make a form button that will act as TAB- move from field to field in the form.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

p.s.
I am very new to access and programming so I will appreciate if you could keep it simple:)
 
On the click of the Tab button just simulate the Tab Key press.. Something along the lines of..
Code:
Private Sub [COLOR=Blue]tabKeyName[/COLOR]_Click()
    SendKeys vbTab, True
End Sub
Change highlighted section to match your design.
 
Hello pr2-eugin,
I did as you suggest and the button is now acting as "move to next record". Do you have another idea as to the Tab button name?
Thanks
 
I think your Form is set to Cycle through all records, set it to Current record.. Under Form Properties-->Other (Tab)--> Cycle (property)--> You will have options like Current Record, All record, Current Page.. Set it to Current Record.. That should have solved it..
 
Thanks again!
Now after I made this change- when I press the button it jump to the first field in the form. I will just add that when I use the docking station with key board, the key-board Tab button acts properly,
Thanks
