Northwind 2007 example

It's been a while since I've worked with Access so I've been playing with the NW example to see what's new.

Right now I'm looking at the 'Purchase Order Details" form and trying to figure out how it works. I've found one thing I find to be very odd, and irritating if I were to be someone using this form. When focused on the "Purchase Details" tab/subform, a product to purchase can be added, but when you tab through the fields expecting to go to the next line to add another product, the subform is exited and you end up at tabstop 0 on the main form! Any ideas as to why this happens and how (if) it can be fixed?

Thanks!

Is it that the cycle property for the form is set incorrectly? Try changing it between the options and see.

Thanks for the reply!

That is a good thought, especially since I'm unfamiliar with the 'Cycle" property. Unfortunately, it continues to tab through to the main form whether the property is set to "All Records", "Current Record" or "Current Page".

Another odd aspect to this form: the Receiving subform (page 1) tabs properly, so it would seem to be something between the parent form and the Purchases subform (page 0). I've even swapped the page order to see if it might be a page 0 issue, but the bahavior stays the same!
