Harish,
Thanks for your input. You're right. Although I'd IDEALLY like to
bump the user to the next field, the MAIN issue is that I get a
validation trigger.
I sure wish that TextInput had a built in way to treat Enter EXACTLY
as it treats a tab, however. I know that someone else has recently
posted a thread about how to do the equivilent of "DoEvent()", and I
think the converting an Enter to a Tab would be EXACTLY what I'm
looking for.
Thanks again,
Steve
