    Tab Sequence

    am working on a form that has Header and Detail sections. I could not make
    the cursor move to the Detail section after completing the Header section
    (using TAB key). The cursor goes back at the first cell of the Header
    section. I still have to use the mouse to click on the Detail section. How
    do I automatically move using the Tab key to the Detail section after
    completing the Header? Thanks.

    Add a very small TextBox with no label attached to the header section and
    make it last in the Tab Order. In its GotFocus event add code to set the
    focus to the desired control in the detail section.

    The TextBox can be so small as to be effectively invisible, but it must
    have its visible property and enabled property set to True.

      Setting control color the same as your form background would make the
      control invisible.
