Problem with tabbing to a subform

[hammerva]

Hello again. For some reason I can't tab from one field on the main form to the first field on the subform. I have the subform TabStop = yes. In the subforms data section I have the Data Entry property set to Yes.

Have no idea what is going on.

A couple of wild-eyed guesses.

First, under Tools >> Options >> Keyboard
Look at "Move after Enter" behavior, Arrow Key Behavior, and "Cursor Stops at First/Last Field" checkbox.

Second, on the subform, verify that the subform is enabled and not locked.

If you use the Control/Tab key combination you should go to the next tab from the last field on the first tab. This may not be what you want but it does work!

Well I know why the tab thing wasn't working (sort of). When it was on the last field in the main form; it triggered the beforeupdate and afterupdate events. I thought I could get around it by putting Me.Misc Meeting Topics subforms.SetFocus at the end of AfterUpdate but that hasn't worked yet. I must be hitting another event.
