By default, hitting enter in ITrack Pro does not move you to the next field, even though a good number of users are used to that.

How else am I supposed to move to the next field?

The tab button will always move you to the next field, no matter what!

Examples

There are a good number of places in ITrack where hitting enter does something useful:

Hitting enter in the tag number field on the parts screen will open up the part with that tag number

Parts screen

Hitting enter when a part is selected will open up that part

Vehicles screen

Hitting enter adds new lines to multi-line fields

Parts screen

Hitting enter performs a customer/vendor search

Customer list

Make enter move you to the next field

If you want to, you can set an option that will make enter move you to the next field (as long as it doesn't do something special, like the cases above).

Options dialog

Just remember that enter won't always move you to the next field - sometimes it does other things, as listed above!
