Hello to all,

My database is nearly finished, except for three (minor ?)
details. I think they must be easy to solve, but I can't
figure it out...

First:
When I use my tab-key on a form, it does not always jump
to the next entry field. What should I do to make it go
from entry field to entry field ?

Second (I think is related to the first):
When I open a form, usually the cursor starts in the first
entry field, but for some forms is starts in the second. I
want it to start in the first field for every form. How to
get that done ?

Third:
When the Access database is openend, it starts with the
login page automatically by using a macro. However, the
objects-screen of which the form comes from is also
visible. Can I hide it somehow ?

I appreciate your help !

#1
If the tab key does not work as expected, something is hijacking it. Open
your form in design view. Select one of the controls where the tab does not
work correctly, and look at its Properties. On the Event tab of the
properties box, which events are being fired?

If it is not one of the events of the control, it could be the events of the
form.

#2
Open the form in design view.
Choose Tab Order from the View menu.
Change the order as desired.

#3
Choose Startup from the Tools menu.
Uncheck the box for:
Display Database Window.
 
Allen,

Did I get your attention? ;o)

Having read how you helped Corine, a public thank you. I have noticed you
don't shy away from the more complex questions (or at least the ones that
require a bit more reading). I have learned much from your contributions
over the years. Whatever I have learned I owe to the Micosoft Help File
team and the likes of you (Dev Ashish, Roger Carlson, Stephen Lebans, etc -
these names I can recall without Google).

Publicly...thanks.
