Hi every Body
How can I force my Users to push the Tab Button or enter Button after they Enter any values in my Text Box Controls?
If they do not push those buttons they should not be able to close or add a new Record.

Best regards

Hi

I assume what you are really trying to do is some form of verification of the entered data, in which case see the before update and/or the before insert event of the form

Sanan,

Why not just make the field "required" in the table design. Then, they won't be able to enter a record if the field contains no data.

Hi HenryAnthony, KenReay
Thanks for quick reply.
Yes it is sort of verification of their action, and I need also Refresh my Form. The form in actuality is a Sub form of my Actual form, and I need to refresh it sort of on Run.
Making them to use the Tab Button, will do it for me.
as you know they usually do use the Tab Button only for the case of last Textbox control there is a chance of User not using the Tab Button, and just closing the form or adding a new Record, which I Would like to Avoid.

Best regards
Sanan
