MS Access Forum / Database Design / May 2008textbox is skipped when tabbing
Hi, in an order entry form, I have 5 textboxes and a subform whose TabStop property is True (more textboxes are present which users shall not tamper with, TabStop False): cboCustomer: AutoTab False, TabStop True, TabIndex 0 cboReference: AutoTab False, TabStop True, TabIndex 1 txtRefDate: AutoTab False, TabStop True, TabIndex 2 (date set by calendar popup form) txtRefNote: AutoTab False, TabStop True, TabIndex 3 txtContact: AutoTab False, TabStop True, TabIndex 4 txtComment: AutoTab False, TabStop True, TabIndex 5 sfrOrdersItems; TabStop True, TabIndex 6 Using TAB key, the sequence works fine until txtComment should be entered, Aceess (2000) jumps straight from txtContact to the subform. Same happens, as a matter of fact, if you mouse-click into txtComment. I double-checked txtComment properties and either I olverlook the obvious or else. These are the txtComment props: EventProcPrefix txtRemarks Name txtRemarks ControlType 109 ControlSource Format ConditionalFormat Null DecimalPlaces 255 InputMask DefaultValue ValidationRule ValidationText StatusBarText EnterKeyBehavior True AllowAutoCorrect True Visible True DisplayWhen 0 Vertical False Enabled True Locked False FilterLookup 1 AutoTab False TabStop True TabIndex 5 ScrollBars 0 CanGrow False CanShrink False Left 4536 Top 851 Width 8505 Height 284 BackStyle 1 BackColor -2147483643 SpecialEffect 0 BorderStyle 1 OldBorderStyle 1 BorderColor 0 BorderWidth 0 BorderLineStyle 0 ForeColor 0 FontName Arial FontSize 10 FontWeight 400 FontItalic False FontUnderline False TextFontCharSet 0 TextAlign 0 FontBold 0 ShortcutMenuBar ControlTipText HelpContextId 0 ColumnWidth -1 ColumnOrder 0 ColumnHidden False Section 0 Tag Text InSelection False SelText SelStart 0 SelLength 0 BeforeUpdate AfterUpdate OnChange OnEnter OnExit OnGotFocus OnLostFocus OnClick OnDblClick OnMouseDown OnMouseMove OnMouseUp OnKeyDown OnKeyUp OnKeyPress LeftMargin 57 TopMargin 0 RightMargin 57 BottomMargin 0 LineSpacing 0 IsHyperlink False Has anyone got an idea? Oh yes, I did compact and repair. Thanks a lot in advance for any suggestions. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > entered, Aceess (2000) jumps straight from txtContact to the subform. > Same happens, as a matter of fact, if you mouse-click into txtComment. Is txtComment by any chance in the form header or footer? The normal tab sequence does not automatically jump between form sections. Same would be true if the control were on a TabControl page.  SignatureRick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com Hello, Rick, nope, neither in header nor footer, nor on a TabControl page. All of the textboxes and lso the subform mentioned in my original post are in the same section, Detail. This is what gets me puzzled. Thanks for any advice. > > Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > sequence does not automatically jump between form sections.

Any code in the OnExit or LostFocus event of the txtContact control? SignatureRick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com No. The text is being pasted directly into the table. There are no forms or queries. Its a brand new database. Charles W >> Hello, Rick, >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Any code in the OnExit or LostFocus event of the txtContact control? Hello Rick, could one be sooooo stupid? You got it, txtContact's OnExit procedure includes a SetFocus instruction telling Access to move to the subform. Stupid machine, does exactly as told (grin). Thanks a lot for pointing me to the solution. I removed the instruction and it works. > > Hello, Rick, > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Any code in the OnExit or LostFocus event of the txtContact control? |
