When inputting data on a grid, automatically create new row after entering on last field...

Entering a budget with 60 lines in the grid:

After completing one row, I have to click the + to add a new row instead of simply hitting return to have PC create the new row for me. Or, if there is already data in the next row, have PC go to that row.

It is very time consuming to grab the mouse and click new row and then start typing again!

Please add this feature. It is common in QuickBooks, Sage 100 Contractor, and American Contractor.

    Hi Suzanne, 

    This is not the case when I am working on billing codes and linked cost codes. When I hit enter twice on the last field which in this case is the cost code, it closes the screen!

    If you are using the Keyboard (instead of mouse) to add lines in a Grid, when you hit enter at the last field, the software will highlight the "Click to add line" link and it you hit enter again, it does add a new line in most data entry grids..

    If there are fields you always skip (and don't want to have to enter in the empty field), remove those columns from the Grid to ease Data Entry.

    (Just don't click around, or it interrupts the process and then the SW doesn't know what you want to do, so you are back to needing to grab your mouse to start the next line.)
