I have researched this topic elsewhere but, what I have learned is not quite
answering my problem entirely. I can control the way the tab behavior of my
10 text boxes work by using the tab stop method and tab order. But, what I
can't seem to fathom is why when I reach my 10th control with the tab key and
press it one more time, I see a dialog box that says, "Enter Parameter Value".
For some reason it is like my sub form (which I only have one and has a query
as its record source) is trying to run again.
I have a database that has a custom form for my switchboard (rather than
using the standard Access one)that when it loads it has a command button on
it. When I press the command button, on the form, it asks me to enter in
some data, then opens my form for editing. The form that opens has 10 text
boxes of which I want to control the tab order. When I reach the last text
box and click tab one more time, a parameter query box appears just like the
one from my custom switchboard initial form with the command button.
I want the user to cycle through my 10 text boxes on the form without a
parameter query prompt appearing. What could cause this behavior? I tried
using DoCmd.Close acform, [name of form], acsaveno because, I thought the
presence of the custom switchboard form would cause that parameter query to
appear. Could my subform be the culprit? I tried setting that tab stop to
no and that did nothing. I just want the users to be prompted to enter
something in that parameter box on the main custom switchboard then, be able
to tab from text box to text box around the form that opens up?
Thank you for all your help.
