Sub-form tab sequence issue

[cself]

I have a sub-form within a data entry form. As you tab or index through the form the cursor goes to the second field (Amt)instead of the first (Designated Acct) in the sub-form forcing the user to hit the left arrow to get into the first field. The tab index is set correctly. The first data entry field in the sub-form (Designated Acct) uses a combo box to select the account name and the second is a text box for entering an amount.

Thank you very much.

If your tab order is set correctly, then it could be that the Tab Stop property for the combobox is set to No.

Thanks, I checked and the Tab Stop is set to Yes.

I think the subform itself shouldn't be in the tab order. However, if that's not it and you are 100% correct that the tab order is right (how would we know?) then you could always SetFocus on the required control in the subform if users are following a fairly regimented order of data entry on the main form. You could use the Exit event.
