Hello, All! Is there a shortcut key for switching across tabbed tables? My
A2K Help doesn't work anymore after a certain update.. so I'm sort of stuck
finding a solution. Google wasn't much help either. I would like to be
able move/switch across the tabbed tables in BOTH directions, left or right,
if possible.

Thanks.

BR> What is a 'tabbed table'?

I use A2K with a bunch of tables that are accessible/visible via "tabs"
across the top. All I have to do is click on a tab and the particular table
is then in focus. The problem is that it's sometimes a bit of a pain to use
the mouse to do that. It would be nice to just use the arrow-keys or
something.

I'm going to take a guess that this is a form with a tab control. If so,
then you can provide shortcut keys by editing the Caption property of the
tab page. Place an ampersand ("&") in front of the character you want to use
for the shortcut key. That character will be underlined, and you will be
able to go to that tab page by pressing Alt + the underlined character. For
example, if you enter "S&ome Text" as the caption, it will be displayed as
"Some Text" with the "o" underlined, and you will be able to go to that page
by pressing and holding the Alt key while pressing the "o" key.

If you're not sure how to edit the caption of the tab page, it is described
in this article ...
