Thanks for this.

Dumb question.... what goes in the document level script and what goes in the text box? Becuase i can't seem to get it to work.

I am using comb fields.

Will this autotab for alpha / numeric?

Thanks
Tim

This script is for alpha strings and not numbers, there is a different version for numberic values becuause of the keystroke checking.

Here is code for a both numeric and alpha, if your comb field is mixed numeric and alpha, you will need to write custom code for keystroke, validation and formatting using the RegExp object.

// --- start code --- document level script

function AutoTab(doc, event, cNext)
{
// Call the built-in routine to allow numbers only.
AFNumber_Keystroke(0, 0, 0, 0, "", true);
// If we've filled in the field completely, jump to the next one.
if (event.rc && AFMergeChange(event).length == event.target.charLimit)
doc.getField(cNext).setFocus();
}

function goNextAlpha(doc, event, cNext, bCaps) {
if (bCaps) event.change = event.change.toUpperCase();
if (AFMergeChange(event).length == event.target.charLimit) {
item.getField(cNext).setFocus();
}
}

goNext(doc, event. cName, bAlpha, bCaps){
if(bAlpha) {
// process alpha
goNextApha(doc, event, cName, bCaps)
} else {
// process as number
AutoTab(doc, event, cNext)
}
return;
}
// --- end code --- document level script

// --- start code keystroke

//for numeric field
goNext(this, event, "NextField2");
// or
AutoTab(this, event, "NextField2");


//for Alpha field to caps
goNext(this, event, "NextField2", true, true);
// or
goNextAlpha(this, event, "NextField2", true, true);
// --- end code keystroke
