What Paul said.
Another way, and much klunkier, is to monitor the field that next receives the command to "open", maybe in the card script? on openField if the short name of the target is "theFieldYouWantToBypass" then focus on fld "NextFieldInTheTabOrder" end openField or The games you can play with LC are endless. I tried to make a klunky handler using field numbers, but this became tricky, so I stopped. The trick is to have fun, play with the options, oh, and maybe get some work done.
