07 tab bug?

[NetworkTrade]

there maybe is a bug involving tab in Access07 forms....

I looked to change the tab order of a form and the tab mgmt window isn't
showing all existing controls currently on the form....in this case in the
Detail section....

I believe that I may have changed the record source of the form(some weeks
past in original design); and rather than disturb the layout by
deleting/adding controls from the field list - it is sometimes faster to just
type in the new correct controlname into the existing old control...which
works fine..

not 100% sure ...but in any case have the situation I haven't seen before
where the tab mgmt window is not showing all the controls on the form...so
just fyi - not sure if it is fixable for/by me or not...

I'm not sure if this is the problem you're experiencing or not, but the Tab
Order dialog (I gather that's what you're talking about) only shows the
controls that are on the selected section or tab page. So if you have
controls on the pages of a tab control, those controls won't show up in the
tab order for the Detail section. Could that be what's happening? Also, of
course, labels and other non-data controls aren't displayed in the dialog.

I haven't noticed a bug such as you describe, but that doesn't mean it
doesn't exist. I want to make sure it's not more easily explained by the
"missing" controls actually being on some other page or section.
