Moving around text fields

[dsomers]

I know this is going to sound like a silly question, but in some of the forms that I have that have quite a few text fields, when I try to use the TAB key to navigate around, sometimes the cursor when I open the form is not on the first text field and when the tab key is pressed it may go to the bottom text field or anywhere other than the next field in line. Anyway to correct this easily?

Thanks!

Reset the TabIndex property. The first control to receive focus (that can receive focus) should have a TabIndex of 0.

Is there a way for after you tab through all the fields to not go to the next record and go back to the field with the tab index of 0?

Thanks!

Also another question I have, is there a way to hide the navigational bar at the bottom of forms and just use command buttons to navigate to the next record or previous record?

Thanks!

Set the Cycle property to Current Record.

And yes, the Navigation Buttons property can be set to No.

What about to wrap back around to the first record if you reach the last record using command buttons as navigational buttons?

Thanks!
