I must be an idiot...I can't find the AutoTab property
anywhere on my property sheet for a control within a
form. Can anyone help? Thanks.
 
Still can't find it. I'm in form design view and I select
the control that I want to autotab. I then click on
properties and then click on others, and...I don't see
it. What am I missing?

Thanks, Sandra

Look under the "Other" tab - that's where it is hiding.

What type of control are you using? AutoTab is only available on a textbox
control.

A text box control. However, I'm in a subform. Does that
matter?

How many items do you have under the Other tab? Is there a scroll bar to the
right side of the Properties sheet? It should be there for a textbox on a
subform as well. Can you find it for any textbox?
 
Just figured it out...thanks so much for your help. I was
trying to autotab on a combo box. So, let me ask this
question instead, is there a way to do automatically move
to the next control on a form after an item is selected on
a combo box?
 
Hi Chris,

The AfterUpdate event fires after you select something from the list - you
could use this event to setfocus to the next event. The problem with this is
that it may prove to be annoying to the user who selects something, then
want to go back and select something different. I tend to be fairly cautious
about using focus events because they tend to have adverse effects that
irritate the user.
