Hello, I have a form that queries for a specific record.
Once the record is displayed in the form, I would like the
tab button to be disabled when pressed from the last field
on the form. Right now if you press Tab it brings up a
blank form.

Thanks, Grace
 
In the other tab, simply set the forms "cycle" property to current record.

In fact, for most forms, I prefer this property as then simply the cursor
goes "round and round" in the current record.

You also probably should set the forms allow additions to false also. This
disables the page down, and the also the mouse wheel. Note that if you open
the form in add mode, then you WILL be able to add just ONE record, which is
usually what you want when adding a new record anyway. (opening the form in
add mode will override the forms allow additions settings FOR ONE RECORD,
which as mentioned is usually what you want).
