    Tab stops on a page frame

    Is there a way to have the tab stops wrap around the page on a page frame without out stopping on the PageFrame tab. If I set the PageFrame.TabStop to .F., it doesn't go back to the first tab stop. The TAB key moves it forward and CTRL-TAB moves it backwards. Thanks, Sam

    Menu accelerator keys

    I am using a user derfined menu, and the Alt+? keys only work on the menu items that have a "Command" as the result. They do not work on the menu items that have "Submenu" in the result column. Any ideas? Sam
