How do I keep user from tabbing into global field?

[J__]

Hi,

I have a layout which has a global field, i use this for searching.

and it's been decided it should be a button to keep user simply typing something and not pressing the find button - yes an option is to write code to say "You didn't click lookup!! or display the dialog"

for now, i'm interested in having the field be a button.

I set it to a button, but I can still tab into it and type anything I want.

what option did I miss? I unchecked just about everything in field behaviors.

what's the solution?

thanks,

Sincerely,

J__

In Field Behavior, disallow access to the field when in Browse Mode.

Try taking the field out of the TAB order, from in Layout mode, go into the layouts menu and choose Set Tab Order.

Queue - thanks

Andy - thanks.

I did remove it from Browse.

Tab order. Seems to do it.

thanks so much both of you.

Sincerely,
