Try SendKeys {TAB},True.

There are several events you can trap On Change, etc. Then check the Len()
of what the control you have defined.

Hope that helps..

I may be completely misinterpreting your question, but if you are looking to
programmatically move to the next field (simulating the tab key), look at
..SetFocus.
