Tab order in a form

M

Mike

I have a form with the CYCLE property set to "Current
Record". In the form footer there is one control button
with TabStop property set to YES.
But when I press TAB the focus cycles between the controls
of the detail section and doesn't move to the button in
the form footer.
What is the problem?

That is the normal behaviour. Each section of the Form (Header, Detail &
Footer) has a separate Tab Order.

If you want to move from the Last Control to the Control on the Footer, you
can create a dummy Control in the Detail section and make this the last
Control in the Tab Order for the Detail section and use the GotFocus Event
of the dummy Control to send the Focus to the Control in the Footer.
