Type ahead character processing

hi,

I have a Swing table with several columns. What my users are finding is that when they move from one field to the next and if (which is what usually happens), they happen to type before the next column (field) is in focus, the typed characters are lost.

Is there something i can use in Swing to capture the 'missing' characters ?

My users have been used to Access which automatically captures any characters typed ahead during transit from 1 field to the next. I am moving them to Java Swing :).

Thanks for any feedback. I cannot ask user to wait for the field to be in focus as that is how they operate. There needs to be a type ahead character processing capability.
