I have 3 fields for the phone number, and I want to have it automatically
jump to the next field when 3 characters are entered into the first or
second field.

How do I do this?

Thank you,
Mick

Why not use a masked edit control?

in addition
if you want to keep your existing layout.
1 of the things you can use is textchanged event of the textbox
just check the length of the textbox.text

Private Sub txtX_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles txtX.TextChanged
If txtZoek.Text.Length >= 3 Then
txtnext.focus()
End If
End Sub

Hello,

here is my code, try this

Private Sub txtcode1_Change()
If Len(txtcode1.Text) = 1 Then
txtcode2.SetFocus
End If
End Sub


Private Sub txtcode2_Change()
If Len(txtcode2.Text) = 2 Then
txtcode3.SetFocus
End If
End Sub


Private Sub txtcode3_Change()
If Len(txtcode3.Text) = 2 Then
txtcode4.SetFocus
End If
End Sub


Thanks,

Warm Regards,
