Using VBA to skip fields

Posted on by Richard Wheeler 75,850 Moderator

I would like to have the cursor automatically skip a few fields after the user enter a purchases amount on the Payables Transaction Entry screen. I thought this would do the trick but I get "Invalid Object"  message.

Private Sub Purchases_AfterUserChanged()

    Console.Writeline ("\t")

End Sub

What is the correct syntax to output a tab character so that it will skip a field.

    You could try:

    Console.Writeline (chr(9))

    Why not just set the focus on the object?

    me.somefield.focus

    VBA does not have a console object but the focus code works. The users want to go directly to the check field after enter the purchases amount.  me.Check.Focus does the trick. Thanks.

    For future reference the VBA Command to Send the tab keystroke

    SendKeys Chr(9)

    or some blogs say this

    SendKeys "{TAB}"
