Tab control start point

[NetworkTrade]

The cursor of my form starts in the first control textbox of the Details
section.

I would like it to begin in the first control combobox of the Header section
when the Form is opened.

In the Tab Control feature; one can re-order the Tabs within a section. But
the sections are segregated i.e. Tabs within Header, Tabs within Details,
Tabs within Footer.

Even though the Tabs within Header is shown above the Tabs within Details -
- the Form opens with the cursor in the Details section. I see no way to
change this with the Tab Control feature.

Would welcome advice….thanxs

Set the focus to the control you want in the load event of the form.

What you need to do is to change to design view, click on the tab you want to
rearrange, then right-click on the tab and select Tab order.
Then you can rearrange the tab order just for that tab.

The result is the same as doing it in code like Klatuu suggested.

Ok, upon re-reading your other question I realized that you are trying to do
something different... Sorry.
