Once in a 'Given name' or 'Middle name' field pressing the SPACE bar should move the cursor into the next 'Middle name' field. When in the last 'Middle name' field pressing the SPACE bar should move the cursor into either the 'Age' field (if present) or the 'District' field. I'm using an old version, MacBMD 1.7.4. If you are using a later version or a Mac OS X version it's possible that a bug has been introduced. In which case you should contact the author and developer, Ben Hines. -- Regards Dick Jones Leigh-on-Sea Essex UK rcjones@rmplc.co.uk
