Hey all,



I have a couple of questions,



First, is there some code that I can add that will make it so when you press
the tab button on the last field of a subform it goes to the next subform on
the form, and not the next record in the subform?



Second, I designed this database to help me learn French; French uses a
number of diacritical marks. In Word, there are a number of shortcut keys
that allow me to type those special characters without alt + number. That
functionality does not work in access, is there anyway to set up some
combination of keys (in word you can type ctrl + the apostrophe key to get
some of them.) so that I don't have to mess with the alt numbers?



If I haven't been clear about the shortcut keys, you can search word's help
for "keyboard shortcuts for international characters.



thanks in advance



Jimmy
 
well i figured out the first bit (thanks to all of those who contributed
answers to similar questions particularly sandra daigle) but nothing on the
second part...

in working on the first part, sandra recomends that you create a tiny text
box at the end of the tab order and then put a setfocus in its gotfocus
event. i found that if you do that you get sparatic tab behavior, so i put
a setfocus in the "lost focus" event of the last field in the subform works
great, now if i could just get it so i could push shift tab and go back to
the original form... but i'm sure i can figure that out.


any help on the second question would be a great help...


yours, jimmy
