Using down and up arrow to scroll to next field in a form

[kplatt]

Can someone tell me how to make the down arrow go to the next field in my form. Currently I have to push the tab button. I assumed it would be in the tab order where it would give you an option to use the arrow instead but that is not the case. Thanks

Erm! What is the problem with using the tab key to tab to the next control?

It is just easier for data entry when dealing with numbers. I would like to scroll to the next cell/field with both i possible. This would include using the up arrow to scroll up also. thanks

The up and down arrows have functions within a control. the tab key can be used with or without the shift key to move through the controls in the taborder .

I don't think this can be changed

It is always a very bad idea to change the functions that keys perform from their Access defined ones. Your talk of "cells" and "numbers" sounds as if you're using a Datasheet form, and the up and down arrows are expected to move from one record to another record.
