Access Tip of the Day
Easily move from a subform to the main form (Access 97/2000/2002)
When you're entering data on a form that contains a subform, moving into the subform is easy. By default, pressing [Tab] when the insertion point is in the control immediately preceding the subform moves the focus to the subform. However, getting back out of the subform may not be so easy -- you may wind up cycling through every field or control in it when you really want to return to the controls on the main form. Fortunately, there are two shortcut keys that will help you get back on track:
[Ctrl][Tab] moves the insertion point to the control on the main form that follows the subform.
[Ctrl][Shift][Tab] returns you to the control that precedes the subform.
Note that if there aren't appropriate controls available on the main form, these shortcut keys will cause the main form to switch to the next or preceding record.
