Hi Peter, Yea, I can’t figure it out the correct command. It’s easy to get the focus on the container but then I have not been able to figure out what command to use to communicate with the subform .
In fact I changed the form so the only object that was table and focusable was the subform container1. But tabbing just selects the container. Anyway, I will persevere as there has got to be a way. Thanks, John... > Probably not. I was able to do this by calling subform in On losing focus > and then let subform execute GOTO OBJECT.
