Tab control pages and tab order

[Guest]

I have a form that has a tab control page on it with several text boxes &
labels on the 1st tab control page as well as the 2nd. I try to set the tab
order on the 1st page but no matter if I have "auto tab" selected as false or
not, the tab order will reset itself. I have never had this problem before
with other forms but this is my first time using a tab control page.

Any ideas how I can set my tab order to what I want and save it that way???

Hi Jody,

Do you mean page order?

right-click in the gray tab area to the right of your tabs and choose
"Page Order..." from the shortcut menu

If you mean control order, "auto-order" will use the top and left
properties to determine that -- it would be best to set it yourself...

right-click in the detail section somewhere that is not a control and
choose "Tab Order..." from the shortcut menu

select a row by clicking in the gray box to the left of the control
name, then click on the highlighted line(s) and drag up or down

When you have the order they way you want, press OK

Clicking AutoOrder will mess everything up again

Warm Regards,
Crystal
