How to stop tabbing to next record?

47 New Member
I've encountered this problem in several applications.

When the focus is on the last control on a form's tab list, one more tab brings the user to the next record (or a new record).

Is there a straightforward way of preventing this?

In Design View for the form, select the form itself and goto

Properties - Other

and change the

Cycle Property

from "All Records" to "Current Record."

Thank you again linq. I'd say that I owe you, but I can't imagine having the opportunity to return the favors.

Hi there, I have been frustrated by the 'next record' problem when a user tabs off the last control on a form. I have tried a couple of the suggestions listed on the newsgroup, but so far nothing has solved the problem in relation to my database. I have 3 subforms on the form and serveral other controls (such as buttons). When the final subform receives focus (a one-to-many style

Tabbing from the first control on a form always sends me to IE's Address Bar instead of the next control, no matter how I set the TabIndex property for the controls. Why is this happening? For example, I have a simple login screen with 2 textboxes (Login ID and Password) and 2 buttons (Login and Cancel). I've set the TabIndex Property of each control, starting at 0. When I enter a login id and then press Tab, the focus goes to IE's...

Hi, I have a requirement to build a mouse free windows application and have to hence rely heavily on the tabbing indices. However, I'm facing some issues when the tab goes to a datagrid. It shows very random behavior when the focus is on the last cell. It sometimes skips the next control to give focus to the one after that, and sometimes even skips 2 controls. Also, when you try and navigate back with shift+tab, it again skips quite a...

I have a form that has lots of sub forms on it. The user shouldn't be editing the information that isn't part of the sub forms, and the fields are locked... but when a user presses return/enter - access seemingly progresses onto the next record for the parent form (and at the end it just goes to create a new record). How can I stop access from going to the next record when they press enter? Thanks.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
