MS Access Forum / New Users / March 2005Navigation off of tab control
I have a window with search fields at the top and a tab control with a number of tabpages at the bottom. Is there a way to use the keyboard to get from a tabpage back up to the search fields? From a TextBox on one of the Tab Pages, I have to use: Shift + Tab to set the Focus to a Tab Page and not the TextBox Control Shift + Tab to set the Focus to the Control just before the TabControl. If you use it often, set the Form's KeyPreview to Yes/True and use the Form_KeyDown (?) Event to check for the selected shortcut key to move the Focus as required.  SignatureHTH Van T.

Can you tell me how to reference specific keys in a script? (i.e., test for whether a key has been pressed?) Or point to the location in Help? I'm afraid I find VB help not always helpful. Some of the most critical info is buried and not indexed. > From a TextBox on one of the Tab Pages, I have to use: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > get > > from a tabpage back up to the search fields? Check Access VB Help on the KeyPreview Property of the Form and the KeyDown Event of the Form. The sample code is nearly what you want. SignatureHTH Van T.
