Hi Again
I want to disable the Tab key in my DB. How can i do it? I read the post about disabling the ENTER key, but really didn't apply to me. I have a form that is broken up into two parts. The top part, only one person can see. The bottom part, everyone. I have set all controls tab stop property to "NO" to keep them from tabbing to the bottom or top of the form. This solved that problem, but now tab goes to the next record. How can i keep tab from doing this or disable tab altogether?
 
You can set the forms Cycle property to prevent the Enter or Tab key from advancing to the next record. Set the "Cycle" property on the "Other" tab to "Current Record".

You can trap for the Tab key and not allow it's normal use. Search for the key work "KeyPress" and you will find examples on how to do it.
