Hello, I have a parent form with a control tab with multiple pages, a different subform on each page. I am using the lostfocus event on the last control on each page to have the cursor move to the first control on the next page using docmd.gotocontrol. This works ok, but:
The user would like to be able to go to the top of the tab (where the caption is) from any field in the subform, using ctrl+tab (or something similar) and navigate across tabs from there using ctrl+tab. Right now hitting ctrl+tab brings the user completely out of the subform and back to the first field on the parent form. Any thoughts on how to do this? Thanks very much.
 
How about using a KeyDown Event checking for F2 or similar that does a setfocus to the tab control?
