I have a field that is generated with values from a custom pop up list.

When you click into this empty field, the pop-up list drops down so you can make a selection.

After you make your selection, the pop up list continues to drop down. (again & again & again)

Is there a way to automatically tab to the next field after a value has been clicked on (selected) from the value list?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jarvis - we meet again!

It sounds like you only have one 'enterable' field on the layout? If this is the case ...

Your cursor needs somewhere to go to; otherwise, it will just 'go back' to the pop-up and pop it again. I've seen several solutions suggested - the easiest way is to place another field 1 px x 1 px on the layout so the cursor can come in for a landing. In this way, your pop-up list should close properly.

I've heard some recommend using 'good' fields for this, ie, another copy of your pop-up field itself. But I'd be concerned that User would start typing and put in inconsistent data. I'd rather waste a global just for this purpose.

If you have other fields, be sure your tab order points to the next field so the cursor will move on. Otherwise, it's a Mac thing alone.

Yep. That fixed it!
