Web form sequencing questions - vb.net & tab order

I have built vb.net application that runs on my SBS2003 thatconsists of 20 plus form and menus. I am having problems with aweb form using textboxes. There are also three buttons,back/exit/save. The client has requested that the user be ableto use the enter key to progress from field to field. I haveset up the tab sequencing and the tab key works. I tried ascript to set the focus to the next field in each textbox'smethod , but when an enter is hit, the back button is actuated. I have tried to keep the buttons from being in the tab order bysetting the tabindex to -1, but the buttons still stay in thetab order sequence. There is no tab stop method on a webcontrol from what I see. It seems that no matter what I do theback button always stays in the tab order and is "highlighte d"so an enter triggers it. I thought of doing a dummy button andsomehow have it respond to the enter instead, but haven'tfigured a way to do it.

Can this be done (progress via enter)? Can I make the buttons sothat they are only accessable from a mouse click and not from akeyboard tab?

I appreciate any help that can be given. I've been programmingfor 35 years but this is pushing me to my wits end.

I don't usually like to do this, but I need help. I have gone over this code and cannot figure out why it doesn't work. First of all it doesn't check to see if you have filled in the required fields. Second, it doesn't submit the information (it's supposed to send it to mySql and email it to me.) and lastly, it doesn't bring up the thankyou.php after submitting the form. I don't know enough about PHP to find the problem. If someone could...

Hello, I have a few rather urgent questions that I hope someone can help with (I need to figure this out prior to a meeting tomorrow.)

I have a table that is imported from another system. I have no choice but to use the data as is; they will not change it. The records are not unique. For reasons I don't want to get into, I can't use an AutoNumber field. Also, there is no combination of fields that will provide a unique key. So, I could assign a number in my import code. My thought would be to just select the highest number currently existing in the table and...

I need to create a form that takes a number that the user enters, and duplicates a question the number of times the user entered. For instance, if the customer enters 5 on the first page, when they press next the form generates "How old are you?" 5 times on the page. The customer will answer all 5 questions then press next. Finally, all the local variables get dynamically created and written to a database. I have already taken care of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
