Put this in all the fields in your tab order and designate the one to follow.

and using Craig's technique,
you can go to a 'next field' based on the user input in the current field,
or any other field, or preferences chosen by the user.
  ... thus you will have smart tabbing.

There are some trickier ways of programming this, but simpler is usually better.

Subject: Data-Entry in a LiveCode form using the tab key


I have constructed a form in LiveCode; I want to complete the data entry in each field by using the tab key. Is there a way to reconfigure the "tab sequence" of fields so that as one tabs and then types in the data, one progresses through each field sequentially throughout the form?
