Tab Function Gone Funny?? (1 Viewer)

[Rich_Lovina]

My form, of some vintage, Access 2000, has suddenly decided after trying to Tab to NextFld, to tab right out of my form, and go to Access main page.
My properties appear as always, so any suggestions from anyone who may have experienced this oddity?

Addendum: However using the enter key now does the right job, including going to new blank record from the last ordered field....so why did tab go permanently funny???

I have experienced this several times. I think it is caused by having too little memory available which makes Access unstable. The shortage of memory I think is caused by a "memory leak" in Access. Closing Access and rebooting fixes the problem. I have never been able to track down the exact cause of the problem.

Thanks Pat, you're dead right. I had to re-locate the computer and on start-up, came to the form and tab is normalised. Tks.
