Charles,
(I've been following this discussion on the use-rev list, so I'm
taking the liberty to post it there too.)
I suspect your problem may be related to the fact that you have a
keyDown handler in the field that may be blocking the return key.
(Although it's not supposed to.) It should work if you force the
return key to "tab" to the next field by including a returnInField
handler:
on returnInField
get the number of me
select the text of fld (it + 1)
end returnInField
Anybody know why the keyDown handler blocks the autoTab? Maybe a
candidate for bugzilla?

Devin,
I have been working on my project since June. I almost done but I
ran into an unexpected problem. When the user enters a raw score of
two digits in a field and presses the Tab key, the cursor goes to
the next edit field as it is supposed to do. When the user presses
the Return key after entry of a two digit number, the number is
pushed off to the left and the cursor remains in the field. This
happens despite the autotab being set to true and no list behavior
is checked.
Here is a sample script from my project:
ON keyDown whichKey
IF whichKey is a number THEN
IF the selection is not empty THEN delete the selection
IF the length of me < 2 THEN
pass keyDown
ELSE
answer information "Numbers cannot be longer than two digits."
END IF
END IF
END keyDown
ON closefield
IF field "yrFld" > 4 AND field "yrFld" < 12 AND fld "msFld" >
62 THEN
answer information "The total raw score is incorrect for a
age of " && fld "yrFld" &" years!"
put empty into me
focus ON me
ELSE
IF field "yrFld" > 11 AND field "yrFld" < 20 AND fld
"msFld" > 63 THEN
answer information "The total raw score is incorrect
for a age of " && fld "yrFld" &" years!"
put empty into me
focus ON me
ELSE
IF field "yrFld" > 19 AND field "yrFld" <60 AND fld
"msFld" > 57 THEN
answer information "The total raw score is
incorrect for a age of " && fld "yrFld" &" years!"
put empty into me
focus ON me
END IF
END IF
END IF
END closefield
The first script limits the input of 2 digit numbers only. The
second script is flagging the possibility of an incorrect raw score
being entered for certain ages. Some of the fields have a raw score
limit based on the age of the child. For this example, children
aged 5 to 11 years, the total raw score can be only 62. for
students in the age range of 12 to 19, the total is 63 and for
adults (20 to 59 years) the total is 57.
The questions remains is why does the Return key does not act as a
Tab key?
