You can subscribe to the KeyPress event and check if the textbox has got the required number of characters. If it has, you can move focus to the next textbox. Something like public void KeyPress_textBox1(...) { if (textBox1.TextLength == 5) { textBox2.SetFocus(); } } Regards Senthil My Blog

thnx for ur help, one more thing, could I determine which data type could be entered in the text box, i.e. if the user entered "floating" no. for example it doesn't move the cursor. The user should enter "integer" for the cursor to move to the nexr text box.

You can use the Parse method on the Int32 class. Something like
... if (textBox1.Length == 5) try { Int32.Parse(textBox.Text); textBox2.Focus(); } catch(Exception) //Substitute correct exception { } }Regards Senthil My Blog
