Tabbing in a Form

[ReneeB]

The form I created contains a header in which I placed three of my fields; however, when I've entered my data in the three fields and try to tab to the next field (which is located in the details section)the tab controls just keeps rotating between the three fields in the header. How do I tell it to go to the detail section after it puts information in the last field in the header?

Any help would be appreciated.

I believe you would have to right click on the form (on design view), select "Tab Order", select the field that you want to tab after the third field and place it after the third field. You will need to check the format on the fourth field to make sure it says "visible". I hope this helps.

To get the tab to move to the sub-form after the last field, you need to do a couple of things.

1. Set tab stop to true for the sub-form
2. Set the sub-form in the tab-order after the the last field in the header info.

you can set the tab order in the properties of each control by numbering them starting with 0, or you can use the tab-order option (much easier)
