Auto tab to next field

[Jeff Honken]

Mark,
  That seemed to work but the next number or the 5th number in the
sequence of 123 45 makes it 123 54.  Why would the cursor jump to the
front of the number instead of in back of it?  Jeff

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
