That is not the way Access works. The simplest way is to learn the way
Access works and "work with it" (or teach your users the way Access works so
they can "work with it").

What you describe is "working against Access" -- that always takes
additional effort and sometimes is not possible.

Please clarify the circumstances: "current" record displayed in a
single-form view, "current" record displayed in continuous forms view,
"current" record displayed in datasheet view (of table, of query)?

Do you intend to do all your control-to-control or field-to-field navigation
with the mouse? The enter key is usually used to navigate from control to
control in a form, to activate certain controls when they have the focus
(e.g., Command Buttons), or, optionally, to navigate from line to line
within a control.

Prevent "Enter" on a text field from submitting a form.

by: Simon Wigzell | last post by:

Is there a way to prevent a form submitting when you press enter on a text field? Some people press enter when they finish typing in a text field out of habit I guess unconcsciously thinking it will take them to the next field. Instead it submits the form and this causes all kinds of problems in my case. Any javascript solution?

Converting "Enter" to "Tab"

by: Dave McCloskey | last post by:

How can I convert the "Enter" key to a "Tab" so my application will act like "Tab" has been hit when the "Enter" key has actually been depressed. This gives type-writer functionality to programs.

Triggering "KeyDown" instead of "Click" on a button by pushing "Enter."

by: Curtis Rutland | last post by:

OK, I have a question. I have a problem. I'm trying to catch all KeyDown events on a button, but the problem is when I press the "Enter" key, the button's "Click" event is triggered, not the "KeyDown" event. Or if it is, it isn't being caught by the handler. Is there a way to disable the button being clicked by pushing Enter?
