Hi Susan,  I have done that and it sir the correct field.

The first thing I'd do is drop in a Debug.Print statement that returns the
name of the selected field -- at least you'll know whether you're actually
getting to the field in question. 

Susan H. 

However, pressing the tab key still doesn't move the cursor to the next
field in the tab order.  

When I place the following in the Enter event of the first field:

    Me!txtWallpaperBarcode.SetFocus

the barcode field ends up with the focus after the recordset is updated (as
shown by the Status bar text) but pressing the tab key still doesn't move
the cursor (nor do Enter, arrow keys or any other key).  However, putting a
messagebox on the barcode's KeyDown event indicates the event is firing even
though nothing seems to be happening.

What can I do with this information?

Well you might test that with an empty recordset just to verify what's
coming back. I'm too lazy to do that.  I just put the move last in every
time - 20 year habit now. Don't even have to think about it. :)

Well I think that was to get an accurate record count... the result used to
come back "1" I believe. So in this case since OP is only testing >0,
shouldn't be a factor.  I was a bit hasty.
