Lol. The problem seemed to be with my use of the FocusManager. I was creating an instance of it and passing into "drawing" functions that were creating the TextInput1 fields:
objFocusManager = new FocusManager(); Then use the nextTabIndex to set fields tabIndex: txtUsername.tabIndex = objApp.objFocusManager.nextTabIndex; txtPassword.tabIndex = objApp.objFocusManager.nextTabIndex; When I traced this out, I noticed that it always returned 1? Anyway, I removed the FocusManger and simply added 1,2,3,etc and evreything appears to be fine now.
