Each page has its own tab order.

I understand. The problem that I have is when the form opens the field that
has focus is on a tab other than the one that is shown. So if a person begins typing the text is entered into that field on one of the hidden tabs.

I'm afraid that doesn't make any sense. It almost sounds like you have the field present on both pages and set to be the first field in the tab order on the starting page.

The field that it enters data in to does not exist on the general tab.
A copy of the forms is in this pst: http://www.sonomaenterprises.com/outlook/taborder.pst Thanks, Jack "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: > I'm afraid that doesn't make any sense.

I'd be happy to look at an .oft file, but not a .pst file.

I uploaded the oft to:
http://www.sonomaenterprises.com/outlook/taborder.oft To see the behavior you need to publish and then create a new item from within outlook.

Thanks. That is certainly one of the weirdest things I've seen in a while. My guess is that your form is too complex and, therefore, is starting to show problem signs. If that it indeed the case, it will only get worse.
A workaround for the focus issue might be to use Inspector.SetCurrentFormPage and control.SetFocus to try to force the focus, but SetFocus isn't always reliable on Outlook forms. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "sonomaenterprises" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:E8D9A2B8-9E8E-4166-8BF9-(E-Mail Removed)... >I uploaded the oft to: > http://www.sonomaenterprises.com/outlook/taborder.oft > > To see the behavior you need to publish and then create a new item from > within outlook. > > Thanks, > > Jack > > "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: > >> I'd be happy to look at an .oft file, but not a .pst file. >> >> -- >> Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP >> Author of >> Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for >> Administrators, Power Users, and Developers >> http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx >> >> >> "sonomaenterprises" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:C7B92B23-3E02-4F39-8F8B-(E-Mail Removed)... >> > The field that it enters data in to does not exist on the general tab. >> > >> > A copy of the forms is in this pst: >> > http://www.sonomaenterprises.com/outlook/taborder.pst >> > >> > Thanks, >> > >> > Jack >> > >> > "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: >> > >> >> I'm afraid that doesn't make any sense.
