Activate tab button

[dealwi8me]

I know it's a silly question but how can I activate tab button in every textbox,textarea,combobox etc in a form?

I want the user to be able to navigate the form using tab button instead of mouse.

Is it possible?

Thank you in advance

By default, a lot of form controls has a TabStop property set to True. The order in which the Tab moves is determined by the TabIndex Property. To access these properties, open the control property window. Click on other. Both properties are on the same page.

There is a property for each control (I think called INDEX or TABINDEX) that defines the tab order iof the controls starting with zero (i think). If you go in and define those in the sequence you wish, it should work.

One more thing is required. On the Tools >> Options path, one of the settings you control is TAB behavior. You can make tab stay within the same control, the same page of the form, or use it to step to the next record. Might be under the Forms Tab of the multi-tabbed dialog box for Options. Might not. Look for TAB Behavior.

From your question, you probably want "Cycle within same page" for this setting. But I might have misread your question. You can decide this for yourself, I think.

The earlier discussion about TabStop and TabIndex is correct. You can set the order of tab visitation pretty much as you wish. TabIndex has to be unique for each control on the page except for index 0, which means "not a tab stop."
