Tab order on a form

[hunterfan48]

I'm noticing that tabs placed in my form header are not available to be tabbed in my form detail area?

I moved some check boxes into my form header area and when I tab from different controls on my form, these are no longer included. Is there a way to include them to be tabbed with the controls being tabbed in the detail area?

still wondering??

help needed? Why are tabs in the form header not able to be referenced with the tabs in the detail section?

If by 'Tabs' you're referring to Tab Order, i.e. the progression followed 'tabbing' through the Controls on a Form, each Section, Header, Detail and Footer have their own.

Yes I am, and is there any way to combine the tabs from the different sections?

As I said, each each Section has its own Tab Order. There is no 'combining' available. You could dictate the order, I suppose, by writing code for the OnExit event of each Control where you want the Focus to leave the current Section for a Control in another Section.

Out of curiosity, I have to ask exactly you're doing here? Controls in the Detail Section are normally those used to enter data, and hence the only ones requiring a Tab Order. Controls in Headers and Footers are normally limited to things like entering parameters for search functions, not something that you would be Tabbing through each time a Record was entered.

Well...originally I had designed a form where this question popped up. However, the more I look at it and after seeing your response, the form could have been designed better where I don't have to worry about this.

Thanks for your help.
