My form is organized in the “index card” fashion of the tab control layout. I have combo boxes on each page. I want to use the tab key to navigate from the final combo box on the final page, to the first combo box on the first page. I can do this with a macro or a VBA routine, but I can’t figure out how to create a new record at the same time (at this point it goes to the first field of the same old record). Essentially, “how do I get the final combo box on a tab-control form to act like the final combo box on a regular (one-page) form?”

Try going to the control that you want and do a DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
