problem with tab control

[Southerndiva]

i am developing an application using the following forms:-
claims - main form. subforms are: claimants, correspondence, payments. the linking field for all subforms is claimnum.

i have a main form on which i placed a tab control. the fields from the claims table are placed on page 1 of this tab control. all other forms are embedded on pg2 pg3 etc.

the problem is however, the tab order on page 1is not working, in spite of the fact that i have gone to each control and specifically stated its tab order. in addition every time you tab to a field, the entire forms jumps/blinks. i think this will be very disconcerting to users.

does anyone have a solution or work around. i need to deliver this app within 2 days

thanks

one way to work around this is to go to the original form that is not tabbing correctly and re-create each control in the order you want them to be tabbed. The default tabbing order derives from the order of creation. try it, I think it will work.
