Hi guys,

In Access 97, how do I get the enter button to act like
the tab button on a form? I know it's in there somewhere,
just having a "senior moment."

That's its default behavior. Unless you change the property
EnterKeyBehavior to "New Line in Field" it should take you to the next
control in the tab order. Also if you have a command button with its
Default property set to true the Enter Key will run the code in the
button's Click event. I don't recall if it does that "in addition to"
moving to the next control or "instead of" although I would suspect the
latter.

Except, if I'm not mistaken, for text boxes created by the wizard and
bound to memo fields. I think in that case the Enter Key Behavior
property is set to New Line in Field. So Eric should check that
property.
