Tab index

[kimberst]

I'm having some problems setting the tab index on a
form/sub form set. Everything works great until I try to
tab to the first field in the subform. I have set the tab
index in the properties box so that the left field is 0
and the right field is 1, but when I tab from the main
form, the cursor goes to the right field. Is there a
setting I'm missing?

If you have already set the focus on the subform it remembers where on the subform you were at and returns to that place when
you tab into the subform again. If that's not the case, you probably have some code or a macro which sets the focus to the
second control, or the first control is just not enabled and can't receive the focus anyways.
