[QUOTE="steppish, post: 11264, member: 2813"]
I am in the process of converting my paper logbooks (many thousands of hours) to Logbook Pro.  Anyone who has done this knows it is a tedious task.  Of course, we also know there are ways to make it go a little faster.  i.e. I am using the "Windows style" logbook to enter my data.  When I am entering a new line (a new flight), after checking for the correct date, I use the tab key to tab to the aircraft model, then use the arrow key to scroll to the model I want.
 
The problem is this:  let's say my previous entry was in a 172.  Logbook Pro has remembered all of my previous 172 N-numbers.  So if my next entry is a 172 flight as well, I can tab to the N-number field and just use the down arrow key and scroll to the N-number I need. Nice.
 
Unfortunately, the same thing is not possible (at least for me, so far) if the next flight happens to be any model of plane OTHER than a 172, or whatever the previous line's model was.  Let's say the next flight is a 152.  I tab to the aircraft model field, scroll down to the 152, no problem, then tab over to the N-number field. But now, if I use the down arrow, the only N-numbers available to me are N-numbers for 172's.  If I want to see N-numbers for previously entered 152's, I have to mouse the cursor to the little drop down arrow in the N-number field and drop down the selections.  Only then will the list of 152 N-numbers appear. 
 
This is frustrating.  My data entry would go a lot faster if I could use only the tab key and the arrow keys. Is this a bug in the programming or is the program simply not designed to work this way?  I wish it would.  It would make things SOOO much faster.  Any info is appreciated.
