Auto tab to next field

[Mark Smith]

Jeff, this should work:

on keyDown theKey
   if the number of chars in me >= 3 then
     put theKey into fld "ProvOfficePhone2"
     focus on fld "ProvOfficePhone2"
     exit keyDown
   else
     pass keyDown
   end if
end keyDown

replace <focus on fld "ProvOfficePhone2"> with
<select after fld "ProvOfficePhone2"> if you want to keep typing in  
the newly focused fld.

Cheers,

Mark
