Help Please

I am new to Access and have set up a database but I have a form on which I
would like to set AutoTab (there are fourteen boxes to be filled with one
letter) but I cannot seem to make it happen.

Any assistance would be appreciated
 
John,
You should have given a little more info on what you have tried so far,
and how that failed.

Check out AutoTab Property in Help. It explains how to use an input
mask, and use the AutoTab property to move the cursor when you have
satisfied the mask requirements.
If a field has an input mask of LL and AutoTab is set to Yes, then
entering "AB" in the field will cause the cursor to go to the next field in
the Tab Order as soon as the "B" is entered.

For each TextBox, set the IputMask to accept a single character (possibly
"&") and set the AutoTab Property to Yes / True.

See Access Help on InputMask and AutoTab.
 
Many Thanks to you both - It works

I'm sure I shall be back now I know where to get the answers, I'm not very
converseant with some of the terminology
