How to tab automaically

[saqi]

Hi their,

I am developing a VB application and I have restricted length of fields as well. For example I am using customer number whose length is 7 and I have specified the maxlength to 7 as well.

Is it possible one I have entered the 7th digit it can tab automatically to next field.

Many thanks in advance.

Yep, in the change event of the text box, detect how many charcters have been typed in. If it is 7 then set the foucs to the next box.

Private Sub Text1_Change()
  if Len(text1.text) >= 7 then
    text2.setfocus
  end if
end sub
