Tabbing Between A Main Form And A Subform

[stpark22]

Hello,

I've constructed a form that contains a subform in Access 2003. I want to be able to set the tab order to tab through the fields of the main forms then tab through the fieldw of the subform and then back to the main form. However, the subform tabs wont move beyond the subform once the cursor reaches the subform. Is there anyway to alter this?
