Can't remove controls from Tab Order

[CW]

I have several controls (of various types) that I do not want to include in
the tab order on the form.
So I set the Tab Stop property vaue to No for each of those.
But they still appear in the list in View/Tab Order despite saving, exiting
the mdb, everything short of a reboot so far!
I DO NOT want users to be taken to these fields.
Is there something I am missing, to exclude them from the navigation?
Thanks
CW

This is 'by design'. Setting the tab stop property does not remove controls
from the tab order list, but pressing the tab key will no longer move focus
to those controls. Switch your form to form view, press the tab key a few
times, and watch what happens.

Hon, all the controls that *can* receive the focus will be listed in the tab
order. As long as you set the tab stop to no for those controls, and at
least *one* control has the tab stop set to yes, pressing the <TAB> key will
skip any of the controls with the tab stop set to no.

You can also set the control's locked property to yes to keep the users from
altering or entering data. And you can set the control's enabled property to
no to keep them from copying data, too.

You're welcome, CW! Sounds like that last suggestion did the trick.
