    Setting Tab Property in a Form

    Hello All,

    Need a quick help. In the attached Form's image, I am displaying two fields IncidentDate and IncidentDesc. I have kept IncidentDesc as Locked, so that the end user can not edit it. The other Date field is editable. TabIndex property is set to 0 for IncidentDate and 1 for IncidentDesc.

    Now I want that when an end user press 'Tab', the cursor should move to the next record instead of next field. Is it possible?

    When the cursor is on IncidentDate field, pressing Tab should go to next IncidentDate instead of going to IncidentDesc.



    Thank You.

    Try setting the TabStop for IncidentDesc to No and also check the form's cycle property.

    As Gicu suggested, make sure all other fields or buttons, the tab stop is no. Another thing is in the Tab order, make sure the IncidentDate is the last field in the list.
