Tab Issues with Tab Control

[shelby55]

Hi

I'm working with Access 2003.

I have a form with a tab control (2 pages). I can't seem to get the tab order to work. If I go to view, tab order I see that the whole tab control is listed in the tab order...how do I get it for each field on the tab order?

I've looked on the site for other such scenarios but I'm still not understanding how people fixed the problem - thanks.

What about going in each subforms ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Hi

I figured this out actually: select page 1 of my tab control and it selects all fields on that page, then right click and select "tab control" to be able to control the tab order for that page. Page 2 is the same.

Once I've tabbed through page 1 I think I can use the "on key down" event in the last field of page 1 to automatically go to page 2 instead of starting over at the top of page 1.

One question I do have is how to reference the actual field in code if it's on a tab control?
