Change tab order on data access page

J

I have a data access page that, when opened, always goes to the 5th field in
the tab order. I have set the tab order for 1 through to 20, and it always
comes back to the 5th. We have even tried to set the focus using Script
Editor. Nothing makes any difference. Can anyone help?

Three reasons I can think of why that would happen
1. In one of the form event there is code that set the focus to this field
2. All the fields that are before the fifth field there enabled property set
to False
3. All the fields that are before the fifth field there TabStop property set
to No.

I am working with a data access page -- not a form. Any ideas on the problem
when it is on a data access page?

DAP are HTML files and as such, will suffer the limitations of HTML.

Usually but not always, you shouldn't have any problem with setting the
tabindex property of your HTML controls. However, without seeing any of
your code, it's hard to tell you where you may have done some kind of error.
Make sure that you don't have any duplicate or multiple 0 values.

Also, make sure that you don't have a refresh or a caching problem: preview
the page in IE, not in Access and whenever possible, flush the IE cache. Add
a text number somewhere on your page to make sure that you are previewing
the new version of your file each time.
