hotkey to next record

The answer depends on your screen. If you are in datasheet or tabular
view, the down arrow key will work for you. If you are in a form
showing just a single record, PgDn will do it. Be aware that you will
move to a new record in the field that you were in when you pressed the
key.

It is a form|subform. I want to advance the form from the subform
(customer:orders) after finishing an order for a customer. hotkey --> next
customer.

ArrowKeys, PgDn does not work. No combination of shift,alt or ctl helps
either. Haven't been able to find info either.
 
Another trick is to put a command button on your main form to go to the new
record. Set its Caption property to (say):
&New Record

Now Alt+N takes you to a new record in the main form, even if you are in the
subform.

The button's event procedure would be something like this:
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
If Not Me.NewRecord Then RunCommand acCmdRecordsGotoNew
