I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but: If you press Return/Enter in a JTextField you'll get an ActionPerformed event If you press Tab in a JTextField you'll get a FocusLost event (and FocusGained in another component) In either case you can get the contents of any text field at any time by calling its getText() method. So you can add handlers for the ActionPerformed and FocusLost events to all the components you're interested in, and point these at a common method which gets the data it needs from each component and does whatever you want. In other words, ignore the stuff in the Event parameter passed to the handler. That's what I'd do, I bet others will have a more elegant way to do it. Peter
