Moving from field to field using either '+ key' or 'Enter'

Does anyone know of a way to move from between fields using the enter key instead of the tab key? When entering just numbers is sure would be nice to not have to jump over to the tab key all the time. Thanks for your help.

yes, I'll e-mail you the example

There is an example of how to do this on http://www.databasepros.com

Basically it involves having a script constantly running but paused: pressing the return key resumes the script which then just does a "go to field" step and pauses again.

IMHO I though it un-elegant (in-elegant?, dis-elegant) and would prefer to teach the users how to use the database program correctly in he first place -- use the tab key.

Why not post the example?

You can mail it to me too! I had a user ask me about this just last week.

TIA

Jerry
