Matthias,
If your form is in SingleForm mode, you can use OnCurrent
event of the form to put the focus on the control you want
in the header by using the SetFocus command.
Me!NameOfYourHeaderControl.SetFocus
If you do this with the first control in the Header Tab
Order you can then tab through the rest of the controls in
the Header. As the normal behaviour is to cycle back to the
first header control from the last one, in order to jump to
the detail section just as if it was a continuation of the
tab order I am going to borrow a nice method that Charlotte
Faust posted in another group.
Charlotte Faust suggested:
" The easiest way is to add an unbound control to each
section and make it 0"
width and 0" height, set its Locked property to true and set
the background
and borders transparent. Make it the last control in the
tab order for each
section. In the GotFocus event of the control, put in a
SetFocus
instruction for the control you want to go to next (i.e.,
the last control
in the header or footer would go setfocus to the first
control in the detail
section). If you want to jump to a control in the header or
footer
section, the easiest way is to create a hotkey by embedding
an ampersand in
the control's attached label. Then all the user has to do
is hold down the
alt key and type the underlined letter to move to that
control."
You can probably skip creating the invisible control on the
detail if you use the OnCurrent SetFocus above as that is
doing the same thing for you, but this would be the way to
skip to the detail from the last header control.
