I wouldn't do it. It's a nightmare for you, and for the user... Instead, have a look at the Comb option. It works much more smoothly and does pretty much the same thing.

No, the combo box will not work...he wants every box to have its own letter and number. Thank you though!

I went in and unchecked everything and checked the Comb of 1 characters (the very last option) It still does not automatically move to the next box...when I enter "L" it enters the letter and then...

You need to set it to more than 1 characters, as I wrote before... Settingit to 1 defeats the purpose. Have another look at the screenshot I attached.

OHHHHHHHHH....I see (FINALLY) what you are saying!!! So if my name is Laura Smith, how would I put a blank box between Laura and Smith? If your name is Gilad Drummond, how would it determine how to...

I don't think I understand your requirement. It sounds as if, when typing the address 5 Back Lanethe L would be ignored and jump to the next field?
