    Exclamation Switch pages on a tabbed form using TAB button

    I have a tabbed form.

    I enter data with keyboard and move from field to field using the TAB button. However, when I press TAB from the last field of a page, I am taken to the same page of the next record instead of being taken to the next page of the same record. e.g. If I press tab from page 2 of record 1, I am taken to page 2 of record 2 when what I want is to move to page 3 of record 1.

    Can I change this?

    I found that CTRL + TAB switches pages on a tabbed form. So I can use CTRL + TAB when I reach the last field on a page.

    But is there a better way?

    Changing the cycle property to 'current record' cycles the switching within the fields of the page. In fact the cycle property 'current page' also does the same thing.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
