I have a problem - even though the Form Cycle property is set to "Current Record", the return key (not the tab key) still brings up an 'add' record. Of course all the data goes out of sync. Everything looks fine UNTIL you press the 'Enter key'.

I've spent the better part of two ripping out pieces of code ( as well as my hair) trying to figure out what is going on. Maybe somebody has got this problem too and already solved it or even if you don't --- H E L P !!
 
Two things to check/try

1 - Tools | Options - Keyboard tab - ensure the "Move after enter" is not "Next record"
2 - do you have any buttons which is supposed to add record or go to next/new record? If so, check out if it's "Default" property is set to Yes (change to no) - this setting causes the button to be "clicked" by hitting Enter.
 
Thanks Roy

it was the first one --- 1 - Tools | Options - Keyboard tab

How can someone stop from pulling their hair out??

AGAIN THANKS....
 
I was thinking about saying "shaving it all off", but then thought I'd probably be a bit to brutal <grin>
 
With enough grease your fingers just slide off without pulling out anything.
 
Roy,
I didn't mean to start an international incident ... <wide grin>

I'll just say THANK YOU again!!
 
If at the last number in the tab order of your fields that seems to happen after hitting enter.
