I am not sure that onBlur event is going to help, with checkboxes, buttons etc Gayle will not trigger the onBlur event using the Enter key.
In a text field or combobox you could use the commitKey property of the Format or Keystroke event to intercept the Enter key :-
In Form Tool mode go to the Field Properties of the field, choose the Format tab, Choose Custom and hit the Edit button next to "Custom Format Script", then paste in the following, insert the relevant field name and OK out.
if(event.commitKey == 2) // 2 is the Enter key
this.getField("nextFieldNameHere").setFocus();In buttons, checkboxes and radios you could use the MouseUp event - which would be triggered by the Enter key - to move the focus :-
In Form Tool mode go to the Field Properties of the field, choose the Action tab, Choose MouseUp and hit Add, select JavaScript, then Edit, paste in the following, insert the relevant field name, hit OK, then Set Action, then OK.
this.getField("nextFieldNameHere").setFocus();
This approach will be very time-consuming if you have a form with many fields....
An alternative approach would be to write a document level JavaScript function and call it from the relevant event from all affected fields. This function could do all the above for you, and it would be much easier to maintain in the long run. You might need to define an array of all fields and each one's 'next' field to use in such a function.
Hope this helps, Jub

That is what I want to do but I am a novice at this so I don't understand how to do what you said.

You can use setFocus in an onBlur JS action to direct the focus to whatever field you like when the target field is departed. But it may not be what you want. It should direct the focus to that "next" field whether you click somewhere else or not.

Gayle,
Justice is correct. I'm pretty sure there is no way to alter Acrobat so that pressing <Enter> will advance to the next field. Sorry about that.

Hi Gayle-
Tab is the method used by Acrobat. Just make sure your tab order is set.

I would like my form fields to advance to the next field when either tab or enter is pressed. Is there a way to do this.
And is anyone else getting an error message when trying to search the forms archive? Yesterday and today I have had trouble.
