Form with tab controls

[cgarmas]

Hello,
I am looking for help with a form that has a subform with a tab control. The main form has a subform with a multipage tab control, the first two pages of the tab control are based on one table wich I splited into two pages (this is linked to the main form based on Pk-Fk). There are three more pages with a subform in each one, the record source of these forms are three tables linked to the table of the first two pages. In the main form I have a two command buttons to add and edit the data.
The problem I have is that when I first open this form I am able to edit or enter a new record with no problem. I have hidden command buttons to move the cursor to the next page, and as I said this works fine for the first record, when I start a new record I move fine until the second page, at this point the cursor always tries to skip the 3rd page and jump to the 4th page, but in a behavior as if it was trying to move back from the last page. I can't understand the change of behavior in the movement of these pages, Could anyone please help me with this one?

hi cgarmas,
having a tab control doesn't mean you automatically have subforms. A tabcontrol is just one and the same form with a lot of space to put controls on - of course you can put subforms on the tabs, but that is a different matter.

Anyway, have a look at tab order; right click on your form, and choose tab order. Here you can set how the cursor is moving through your forms
Hope this helps.

Thank you pampers for the reply, I checked the page order and it is in the order I needed it to be, as i said before I can navigate fine between the tabs, but after the first record the cursor tries to skip the third tab and get a message that can't get the focus to the 4th tab and jumps right to the last tab, which is the only form that is available after this. Any other suggestions?
