    Navigation Forms, change tab order?

    Having a problem changing the tab order (set up with Horizontal and right). Is it possible without recreating a page? I haven't found anything that looks like it ill work.

    Thanks

    There is the tab order (what control gets the focus when you hit the Tab key),
    the order of pages (often called tabs, which isn't really correct) on a tab control
    the order of tabbed forms
    the order of navigation form tabs.
    Which are we talking about? I think the last one.
    The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.

    If this is a Navigation Form, change the Navigation Target property.

    If this is pages of Tab control, change the Page Index. Not an issue for me.

    I think it is a navigation form. I made it using the Create, Navigation option on the tool bar. I am trying to learn about navigation forms so my knowledge is very low on this topic.
    I understand how to change tab order in Tab Controls but I am drawing a blank in the Navigation Control. If someone could 'walk' me through the process I may be able to follow.

    Thanks

    Change the Navigation Target and Caption properties for each 'tab' until forms are in the desired order. I tried changing the TabIndex property and didn't seem to have an impact and even if it did, would not change the actual display order of tabs.

    I don't like and never use Navigation form. Another recent discussion might be of interest https://access-programmers.co.uk/for...d.php?t=303352

    It is simple enough to put the form in layout view and drag the tabs where you want them to be - as long as you haven't disabled layout view.
