Forms using the tab control

[Soma_rich]

I have some forms that have a number of tabs with subforms. This all works fine. The only problem is when a user enters data on one or more subforms which are on a differant tab, the fields on the main tab which are not a subform change their behavior.

They are not disabled as you can still copy, cut and paste but the users cannot type in them. There is no code on these fields it appears to be an issue with get focus? I say this as if I save the form I can type in the fields on the main tab.

Anyone come across this before?

it may be your sub forms are not correctly linked or there is incorrect referntial integrity. Do you get a message in the status bar that the recordset cannot be updated in which case it may be a query problem.

No, the record can be updated if the user goes straight in and edits the main tab it is only when the user goes to a subform then back to the main tab. The links are correct as the subforms are all showing the correct information for the main tab.
