Remove element from tab order

[Gravynoir]

Im just wondering if I can remove an item from the tab order as its putting a tab number on the actual TEXT box which I dont want or need.

Every object gets a tab number but only fields get tabbed to. Have you tried testing the form? Tabbing should skip the text box.

[Gravynoir]

Ah okay. Could I remove a field from the tab order completely?

If you mark the field as protected tabbing will skip over it but that also means that the field can't be used for entering data.

I heard about that. I'll have to make do. Thanks for the help!

You can also script this property if you need to turn it on and off:

fieldName.access = "protected";

The options are:

open

protected

readOnly

nonInteractive

Hi Jono -

Can you remove the tabs from a calculated field?

I have the Premium being calculated once the Amount is entered so I don't want the curser to stop on the Premium fields.

Possible?

[Jono_Moore]

Yeah same thing, set the field as protected.
