I have four textboxes that the user enters a tax parcel code, in series of three digits. XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX. Each set is a separate field. What I want is the user to key in just the numbers and when they enter 3 digits it focuses on the next field, so no tabbing is necessary. Bill Zielinski

Bill,
You can accomplish this by creating the appropriate input mask, then setting the Auto Tab property to Yes for this field.
 
Thanks, I knew it was easy, just overlooked that property. Bill Zielinski
