[RBASE-L] - Re: Tabbing order in scrolling regions

[Dawn Hast]

The fields are probably really there, they're just not where you expect them to be.  Probably behind the region.  If you choose Layout > Toolbars and check Object List, you'll get a list of all the objects on the form.  You can sort by clicking on the headers.  Click on one of your fields and press F11.  That will bring up the properties of the field.  If you've selected the 'real' field, the one actually in your region, you'll be able to see that it's selected on the region.  If you've selected one of the other ones, change the top and left coordinates to something like 1 and 1, then the field will move to the upper left of your form where you can delete it.

This is a problem caused by a lazy programmer.  I had fields on my form and thought there may be some way of copying and pasting them into my scrolling region.  I tried it twice with one of the fields, but it didn't seem to work.  So I did it the correct way.    Then after setting it up the whole form, I looked at the tabbing order of my scrolling region, and that one field was listed 3 times.  It is only in my region once though and no where else on the form.  I deleted the field, and the other two instances are still in the tabbing order.    Next try: I defined an _expression_ for that field, so I could delete it, and then say yes to the question of deleting any occurances on my form.  No luck, they're still in my tabbing order.   Any ideas of how to fix this, short of starting over? Thanks, Patti
