Let form has fiew fields , length of each one
is limitted by lenth of field of field in the table (controlsource)
or by input mask. When user press keys and enter data without looking
on the form , the focus set automaticcaly on the next filed on the form
when length of data entry is more than field lenghth.
One my user is strongly against that.
Let he enters very long e-mail gugajgjhg …..@ru
This ru can be on the next field fo web page or telephone
I did not find any properties for preventing such FOX behaviour.
It seems to me in 1995 we fixed this problem somehow, but propably I became old and have weak memory
and did not remember the solution
I wrote some small code in valid event using text length and lastkey function
that prevent setting focus on the next field, if user pressed keys being different from 'arrows' 'tab' 'enter'
but it prevent also mouse motion, when user did not enter anythig at all or enter normal length data and wants to set focus by mouse on the next or some other field
Thanks in advance for freshing my weak memory. Vladimir
