Hi,

I have a form that has several fields. I want to tab down the list to enable quick data entry. However I seem to have two tab lists one one form. One list has most of the controls and the other list has some other controls that I added recently. How can I get all of the controls on that form onto a single tab list?

Thanks
 
Hi
I am a bit confused, are we talking about a tabbed form or are we talking abount a dropdown-box?
Just want be clear before I start babling aboutthe wrong subject.

Sorry - it's a form with several text box controls on it.

On some of the controls if I go to the Tab Index property and click the three dots (...) I get a list of available controls to sort. For some reason this list doesn't contain all of the controls. When I click on one of the controls that isn't in the tab list then I get a list of the remaining controls.

All of the controls are on a single form. No subforms are involved.

Thanks
 
Ahhh... Ok :)

Could it be that som of your controls are placed on the forms header/footer ?

I allways use a right-click on the forms sections and then select "Tab order" I had never notised this little "..." feature, thx ;-)
