Tab order problems 1

[DanEaton]

In my main data entry form (frmCatalogDataEntry) I have several controls that are mainly for viewing purposes (auto-fill) that don't really need to have focus on them within the tab order. I also have three command buttons that I would rather not get the focus unless clicked. Like my 'delete catalog' button; I don't really want people accidentaly deleting catalogs because it's in the tab order. This form's purpose is fast, efficient data entry and modification. I've tried going into view>tab order, then to delete selected controls...obviously doesn't work. What about writing code to eliminate the problem? Any ideas... Dan Eaton

set their tab stop property to no

Cool, thanks! However, upon changing these properties I realized that I have another related problem. I have a subform on the main form. So in my tab order I would like it to go thru the subform, then to the 'submit catalog' button on the main form. However, once in the subform, it doesn't want to exit, any ideas on this one?

Shift Tab to move out of the subform. Or you will need to write some code to exit after it hits the last field on the subform. If you want the code repost describing fields and form names and we can try to help you with that code.
