For the lack of the rights ... I'm trying to keep "focus" in a particular field until (disabling tabbing to the next field).

Example:

Right now a user can tab from fldA to fldB even if fldA doesn't contain something I want. I'd prefer them to enter something I want before being able to tab.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Shawn,
Here you go;

Code: Select all

on tabKey
   if target is empty then exit tabKey
   pass tabKey
end tabKey

put that into the card script.

I was trying the following with no luck. Let me try your solution. Thanks Simon.

UPDATE: Definitely works. Thanks again.

UPDATE 2: Maybe I was a little quick on that. It's not working.

Code: Select all

set the autoTab of field "First Name" to true
