Tab focus

[danielrlm]

I have a form I'm trying to use to collect First Name, Last Name, Department (Ministry), Phone and E-mail. However, I can't figure out how to allow users to tab their way through the form. No matter what I do, TAB goes from First Name to the next button. Any ideas what I'm missing?

I'm using GUI controls with a main window, and a child window with the form. The next button is in the main windows because it simply refers to a nextPage() function and does not need to change each step. I can post code if needed, but it doesn't often seem to help.

Post your script so we can see it and let you know what we see wrong.
