on returnkey doesn't work

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Guess I forgot to get back with the solution to my question; since it  
was really quite simple. I just has had to set the Tab On Return  
property of each of the Fields to true; now pressing return or enter  
functions the same as pressing the TAB key. Sorry... I believe it was  
Jim who proded me in the right direction.
