Key Pad Data Entry

I have two simple fields, FieldA and FielldB using only 12 lines each.
I want to enter data line by line in FieldA with each data entry using the Keypad "Enter" Key to advance the cursor to the next line.
When I've made 12 entries into FieldA, I want the cursor to advance to line one FieldB.
Any help appreciated.

in the script of fld A
Code: Select all
on enterInField
if the number of lines in me >= 12 then
select before fld "B"
else
pass enterInField
end if
end enterInfield
Though you might want to trap returnInField, as well, so something like
Code: Select all
on enterInField
checkReturns
end enterInField
on returnInField
checkReturns
end returnInField
on checkReturns
if the number of lines in me >= 12 then
select before fld "B"
else
put cr after me
end if
end checkReturns
Best,
Mark

Mark,

That was neat.
Another YEA for Revolution's simplicity.
Actually I don't need to trap the returns but thanks for your thoughtfulness.
THANK YOU Very Much and TAKE CARE,
Ralph

use this code to advance keyword to next line
