tab to subform

I have a form with a subform datasheet that is all based on the same table.
When I try to tab to the datasheet on the subform, the tab control goes back
to the first text box on the form instead of going to the datasheet subform.
Is there a way to fix this?
 
Open the main form in design view, and check this properties of the sub form

1. TabStop Property = True
2. Enabled Property = True
3. TabIndex Property = Set it to the index number after the last index field
in the main form
 
When I change the Tabindex property to 8 (there are 7 tab stops in the main
form) I get the following dialog: The value yu used for Tabindex property
isn't valid. The correct values are from 0 to 7.
 
Put 7 in the Tabindex, you probably have 7 controls on the main form, but the
count start from 0.
 
OK, finally figured this out. I moved the main form information from the
header to the detail section and that solved the problem. I thank you very
much for trying to help me.
