Hi..help will be appreciated!

in a nutshell: How can one continue tabbing from the last field in the form
header to the first field in the body of the form?

My form has a header (name, date..etc) - i set this up this way so that the
user can always see who they're entering data on.

The user will be starting from a blank form, filling in the header then the
details, so I'd like them to tab smoothly on.

Thanks.
 
Use the On Exit event of the last field in the detail section to set the
focus to the first field in the detail section

Me.[FieldName].SetFocus
 
Ofer, thanks for this... where exactly do I write in this expression..in a
macro? Expression builder, or straight into the space next to the "on Exit"
option...forgive me.. first time I'm doing this...

Put it in the Event Procedure / Expression Builder
