Can't enter data in Subform

[mthornblad]

I re-created my Invoice Summary/Invoice Detail (form/subform) using
the wizard. I can enter data in the Summary portion of the form.
When I tab on the last field in the main form I would expect the
cursor to go to the first field in the subform. But the cursor
disappears.

What do I need to do to correct this ?

Thanks
Mark

Check your Tab Order. There may be another control (e.g. button) that is
immediately after your last field in the main and the only thing that will
indicate it is the focus is the title will surrounded by a dash frame. If
you continue to tab, you will eventually move focus to the subform.
Also, make sure that the subforms Tab Stop property is set to Yes.

If I tab again the focus goes back to the first field in the main
form. All fields in the subform have the tab stops set to yes.

Do you have any other suggestions that I could try? I would
appreciate it.

Did you check the Tab stop property of the sub form. Don't open the subform
separately. Select it in the main form and then select properties.

I opened the main form in design view and selected the subform. The
tab stop property is set to "yes".

By the way, when I open the main form in design view and then select
the subform and check the properties, the tab stop property is set to
"yes" and the "tab index" is set to 6. Then the first field in the
subform has the "tab index" set to 0.

Problem Solved !!! - Thanks for your suggestions. I appreciate it.
I am new to Access but am catching on. The problem was with a
relationship I changed. I was surprised Access didn't give me a
warning but I finally figured it out.

Thanks again for your help. I'm sure I will have plenty more
questions until I'm up to speed with Access.
