I have a browse table with 4 indexes (tabs).
Instead of clicking the mouse on the tabs I need to do it with the left and
right arrows on the keyboard.
Do you know how to do it ?

same in spanish:
tengo una tabla browse con 4 lenguetas para cambiar el orden del archivo.
cuando clickeo en los tabs cambia el orden.
quiero poder cambiar el orden con las flechas del teclado izq y derecha.
alguien sabe como hacerlo ?.

I did something similar so try the following.

Define a local variable called CurrentSort (or something else) as a byte.
Set the initial value to 1.
On the browse actions, conditional behavior, instead of having
"CHOICE(?CurrentTab) = " put in "CurrentSort=1" and then the first index.
The "CurrentSort=2" and the 2nd index etc.

On the browse define left and right keys as alert keys. In the alertkey
embed for the browse enter:

IF keycode()=LeftKey AND CurrentSort > 1
  CurrentSort = CurrentSort - 1
  BRW1.Reset(True)
  CYCLE
ELSIF keycode()=RightKey AND CurrentSort < 4 !Or whatever your max is
  CurrentSort = CurrentSort + 1
  BRW1.Reset(True)
  CYCLE
END

Hi Andrew
In this case I'll be using:
   Alias(RightKey,CtrlTab)
   Alias(LeftKey,CtrlShiftTab)
it works fine:
but I'll be using your example for some other needs.
thanks for your answer
Alfredo.

really thank you for your help. I have allready done it and it works fine.

   Alias(RightKey,CtrlTab)
   Alias(LeftKey,ShiftCtrlTab)
     should be      CtrlShiftTab

  Alfredo,
     Alias(RightKey,CtrlTab)
     Alias(LeftKey,ShiftCtrlTab)
