How can Autotab after x number of keypress in a textbox

[AccessGuruCarl]

Hello All,

I have a form with 6 text boxes, Each textbox requires 6 characters with the exception of the last using only 2.

The form is used to lookup or generate a help desk call.
The user is prompted with the 32 digit error code which he must give to the operator.

I've broken this up into 6 seperate fields so it's user for the operator to enter/verify the info.

Now I'm trying to autotab after the 6th character has been entered. So the operator can just type the string in without tabbing. I've tried counting the keypress and using sendkeys TAB command but this is not working.

Any Idea's....
Thanks

I guess the easiest thing to do is to set the Input Mask to accept only six characters and set Autotab to Yes.
