Re: [MS_AccessPros] Problem when changing Tab Order - controls disappear

 

Sigurd-

I'm running 14.0.7166.5000, and I don't see that problem on a tab control.  Perhaps the controls are getting moved to the Detail section behind the tab control?  After attempting the Tab Order tool and seeing the problem, go to the Properties window and use the drop-down at the top to see if the controls are still there but just moved.  Perhaps the controls aren't really on the tab but are in the Detail section and just appear on top of the tab.  Is the Back Style of the Tab control set to Normal or Transparent?  If Normal, it's possible for controls to hide behind the tab control.

I have a rather complex form that has a tabbed form with 10 tabs. I have
a problem when I go to change the tab order for the controls on a tab. I
select the tab on which I want to re-order the tab order of the
controls. I select the tool Tab Order, and the expected list of controls
shows up. I re-arrange the order of the controls in the list. When I
click on OK, all the individual controls completely disappear. All
that's left are labels and a subform. Even if I bring up the Tab Order
tool, make NO re-arrangements and click OK, the same thing happens - all
the individual controls disappear. Undo brings them back. But I have not
yet found a way to adjust the tab order without controls disappearing.

I'm using Office 2010 ("version 14.0.7177.5000"). I've tried lots of
Google searches, but to no avail. Hoping this community can help.
Thanks in advance
