Tab Problems

[Dezza12]

I've got a nagging minor problem that I cannot figure out. I have a series of fields that I enter data into for each new record. I would like to be able to simply tab through to the next field and make my data entry process speedy. This works mostly, except for three fields that have drop down lists.

I have set my tab order, and double checked it, but when I get to these three fields, the list does not drop down, nor can I enter any info into the field through the keyboard. I have to reach for my mouse and click on the field to see the drop down list. Other fields that have drop down lists work fine, it is just with these three.

Probably important to note that each field where I can tab to and the drop down list appear, I created, these other three were created by a long ago and long gone developer.

I know it's minor, but it is the little things that make life worth living after all : ) Thanks for your help!

In layout mode, make sure they are defined as "pop-up list" NOT "pop-up menu". Pop-up menus only display when you mouse down on them, not when you tab to the field. Pop-up menus also display a unique border on the field.
