tab problem when adding new field to subform

[susanhull]

My tab sequence does not recognize the new field I added on an
existing subform. I added the new field on a row between two existing
fields, and the tab skips over the the new field. I tried using Auto
Order on the Tab Order pop-up window, but no change. When I click in
the new field and pull up the Tab Order window, the window shows the
fields on the main form, but not the fields on the subform. The main
form and subform use the same table as their data sources. Your help
is much appreciated.

Open the Form embedded in the Subform control to set its Tab Order. That's
the Tab Order that you want to change, not the Tab Order of the main Form.

Thanks, Larry. The part I didn't understand was how to access the tab
order window for the subform. But I tried right clicking on the
subform and was able to find the tab order option. I appreciate your
time.
