Yep. I forgot to set the form keypreview to true and create a text box array. Everything works now. Thanks again folks.

Hypetia... Can't get your example to work. I placed two text boxes on a form and placed your code but I can type any non numeric character without getting the error message and the enter key doesn't work. ???

Thank you all for the great help. I've learned a lot in a short time.

Thanks for the detailed explanation George. I really appreciate it. I have printed the info and will read it until I get it. I have also looked up help for ActiveControl in VB6 and was surprised to find pertinent info. I hope your info and the help info will turn the light on. I consider myself...

Thanks for responding so quickly. I understand the first part... set Forms keypreview to true but part two, "... in the Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii as Integer) check ActiveControl." Could you be a little more specific? Do you mean I should write a sub routine in the form named Form_Keypress(KeyAscii...

I have to validate numeric entry and the enter key press in 8 text boxes. After a number is entered and/or the enter or tab key is pressed, focus is set to the next text box. I wrote a KeyPress sub routine and validation works fine. I'd like to call the KeyPress sub routine as a function instead...

Thank you for responding so quickly. Your suggestion works perfectly. Now for the next hurdle.

I have a list box that is automatically populated when the form loads. When a user selects a name in the list box the name is displayed in a text box. The text box is set to multiline but no matter which carriage return code I use only one line is printed. Selection one is replaced by selection...

Protection is correct. When the doc is protected I cannot tab from field to field or to the drop down list. When I press the tab key a tab space is created and pushes the box to the right. If I place the cursor in the field or drop down list the box becomes highlighted but I can't enter text...

A template I created last year has gone nutty on me. The first 3 pages have text form fields and a couple of drop down boxes. They work fine. The next text form fields and a drop down list are on page 6. About a month ago the fields and drop down on page 6 quit working. I have them shaded and...

I'm it. There's only me.

Thanks for responding so quickly. That's the first thing I looked for. The box was checked but the window didn't open. Voodoo software?

Until 2 days ago each time I opened Word a new doc opened on the left and a window on the right displayed recent files. I haven't changed anything but the recent file window doesn't display any more. I checked settings and word help without success. Any advice? Word 2002 (XP), SP3.

I use Word 2002. I have a 16 page report. Would like to preview each page before printing. Only two controls are displayed on the print preview tool bar: view single page and view 6 pages. I've searched tools>customize but no next page button. Searched Word help and the web but haven't...

I create a report that requires that use of the Forms and Drawing toolbars. I don't want clients to see those tool bars when they open the report. Before saving the report I uncheck those tool bars in Tools>Customize>Toolbars tab however each time I open a Word report, document or template the...
