After some adjustments, the SKIP command is now serving me well. Thank you all for the input.

You won't have to define a variable if each of your fields has a CompID. You can use an eep on your speed button and use a switch/endsw with each CASE statement tied to the global variable RBTI_FORM_COMPID (which is the compID of the most recent control that has a compID) and then with each CASE statement you could use the PROPERTY compID SET_FOCUS 'true' statement to advance to the next edit field. Having said ALL that, "SKIP 1" advances to the next field on my machine as Javier suggests. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Richardson, Jeff > Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 3:40 PM > To: RBASE-L Mailing List > Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Tab Property? > > Thank you for the hints...
