I have a form using four tabs, using 8 tables. This form contains all of the information we have on each client.

I'm noticing a very strange thing. The first tab contains all of the data for the master table, including the client's ID, which is the primary key. Each of the other tables links directly to the master table, by ID. The form seems to work well, except for one oddity. It is used both for entry and editing. Now, when I pull up the form (either by clicking on it from the data explorer or by using the command "enter formname") the form comes up. However, when I go to enter a client id (the users assign the id numbers), it will not allow anything to be entered. If I hit enter, it goes to the next field. THEN, I can go back to the ID field and enter an ID number.

What is really odd is that I have two copies of this database, both of which have this form. I've been doing some updates to one of the copies, and I'm going to replicate all of those changes to the other copy when I get them working. the "old" copy works fine. However, I can see no significant differences between the two forms. The main thing I added to this form is a button that lets me print out the form. To do that I gave the tab control a component name, then created a button with a custom eep, which uses a series of property commands to go to each page then print it, then go back to the first page. Outside of that I can see no differences. I know that this is not the problem, because it started before I added the button.

The is a dbedit and it is enable, visible and set for autoselect.

Any ideas?
