SUMMARY
This article describes a technique that you can use to create a cyclic tab
order on a form, so that pressing TAB in the last control on a form moves
you back to the first control on the form (instead of moving you to the
first control on the next record); and pressing SHIFT+TAB in the first
control on a form moves you to the last control on the form.
NOTE: In Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97, the cyclic tab order of a form can
be controlled by setting the form's Cycle property to All Records, Current
Record, or Current Page. The Cycle property only applies to controls in the Detail section of the form. The information below applies to Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 only.

For more information about the Cycle property, search the Help Index
for "cycle," or ask the Microsoft Access 97 Office Assistant.
