: Personally I use the tab button to move from one cell/field to the next. Prior to this new addition I would place the cursor in the type column, then type t, for task. Access would enter the appropriate word, i.e. task. I would then tab twice to get to the diagnosis code cell. I type in t, and tracheostomy-none was intuitively entered. Tab three times to get to the next type cell. Hit t again, and task shows up. Keep tabbing and entering h for hemodialysis, p for peritoneal dialysis, b for bipap, and i for isolation and you are done. This method is SO much quicker. [[User:DPageNewton|DPageNewton]]

**I find that once you enter the first task under the fill option, that task is eliminated from the drop-down. ie:trach none enterred the next prompt is hemodialysis automatically so you do not have to scroll or hunt around.--[[User:CMarks|CMarks]] 14:08, 5 November 2010 (CDT)

*** any time you partially enter something into a field, it always puts whatever you have entered to the top of the list once you then hit the drop down arrow with your mouse. Unfortunately you still have to hit the drop down arrow for each and every task that has to be entered, instead of typing in just one letter in order to get none.

According to her this takes about 3 seconds; I did a little test of this, and while I don't do this every day it still only took me about 10. That is faster than I could do with the pre-entered tasks and the touchpad, and about the same as I could do with a mouse.

I am happy to hear that some of you are adopting tabbing in your data entry as it is definitely faster than using the mouse, but I have no idea how many people are tabbing vs. mousing.
