Tab Index's Heeeeeelp!

Hi all and thank you in advance :)

I am a little baffled as to how I amto get only the controls I want to be
"Tabbed" to or from, to be the only ones with a tab index.

For example:

I am using VB.NET 2003 for a Windows Forms Application. I have a main form
called "frmMain" with a nav menu on the left hand side, also in that form I
have a custom tab control called "ctrlTab". When a user selects an option
from the nav menu a tab is created in "ctrlTab", which another control is
loaded into, lets say it is an input control for a contacts database. Now
when the contacts form is loaded, which already has its tab index's set at
design time and has a number of other controls with a tab index that are not
needed, I proceed to tab through the form and it focuses on controls in
"frmMain" and "ctrlTab" and returns back to my contacts control and so on.

My question is is there some way or setting to isolate the tab index's to a
control or something? Do I have to handle the key press events to stay in my
form? I imagine others have a similar scenario. I am not quite sure how to
do or get around this.

Help!!!!

Cheers in advance

Jodie
