Another question on Access 2000 Tab setting

I have a master detail type of multi form and have all the field" tab index
and no" properties set correctly as far as I can see. Yet when I get to the
end of the Master form, I have to press the tab key four time before it goes
to the first field (Settings: Tab Stop = yes, Tab Index = 0) in the Detail
form.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Setting the Tab Stop property of the whole TabControl object will turn the
tab stop on/off for all pages (tabs). Don't know why yours is working, but
a work-around would be to use a "[MyFirstControl].SetFocus" statement in
the OnExit event of the last control on your main form.

Thank you Ed for your reply .. and now to show my complete ignorance ... I
have tried every combination that I know of to reference the field "Model"
on my subform. with no success. The subform is called
"FCldetail_subform" and the field is called "Model"

I am a really a newbie having taught myself a little of Access97 (before
installing the 2000 version) and the best reference I have is VB for
Accsss97 step by step .. its not bad but really only an introduction. I
don't get to use Access nearly as much as I would like, thus my queries here
from time to time. I really appreciate all the help I have received, and
feel bad that I haven't figured this one out

This is the code for the "on exit" event of the last field in the Master
Form.

Private Sub Contact_fax_Exit(Cancel As Integer)

[Cldetail_subform.Model].Setfocus
[FCldetail_subform][Model].Setfocus

End Sub

I have tried other combinations with no luck. Any help would of course be
much appreciated.

Here is a reference for correct syntax with subform and their controls ( I
refer to it frequently)
http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm

It covers all situations, so you should be able to get the particular name
reference you need.
