Would appreciate your help in this. I have attached a word file that has 3 green headers on it. I am trying to do this; when I tab to person reporting text field and then tab again a new row is created (this is the problem) but I would like the tab to move to Date & time of incident text field instead. How do I control the tabulation so that when I tab it ends up where i want it to be. This is what i am tryin to do for hours without success. Hopefully this forum someone can come up with a positive outcome. Thanks in advance. kind regards, somi. simon

Don't know where you "attached" the file, but what you pressing the Tab key will take you to the next field in a table. The only thing you could do if you want to go to a specific field, is create a macro that does that. Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

OOps. Let me rephrase that first line: "but, pressing the Tab key.." Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

sorry for misquote of attached file i realised unable to attach word file. don't know anything about macros can someone guide me through it. just would like tab to move straight from one field to another in sequence. as it is now after last row of the column i press tab and new row is created. Thats the problem. cheers. simon
