When Adding VBA only fields is it possible to control the tab order

When I add a flex field ( a new one, not unhiding) and I try to include it in the tab order, everything goes nuts. I tab into it and the tab just goes to another screen or a field that isn't even nearby.

Has anybody had any luck with this?
 
No, VBA-Only controls cannot be added to the standard tab order. You could only simulate these fields being in the tab order by specifically setting focus to these fields through a Field.SetFocus or using a SendKeys call to tab. Warning: the SendKeys function will not work on Windows 7 environment unless UAC is disabled.

Thanks,

I have tried that as well.. For example

In the PO & RFQ tab i added a VBA only field under weight.

When weight.lostfocus i sent it to the new field. When it got to the new field the focus automatically went to the Item listbox without even setting off the new field.lostfocus

 
I was able to go through the process that you listed here and am seeing the same results. I would like to submit a bug request on this but I will need your account and customer information. You can send this to me directly: tori.aiken@exact.com
Thanks!
