Is there any way to lock a button from taking focus while tabbing through a live cycle form and be able to click on it to acivate the mouse up event. I have forms that really work, however the tabing sequence is cumbersome when there are buttons to tab over. The user does not realize that he/she has tabbed to a button except for a faint selection marker. I am using the set focus event on the field just prior to a button in the tabbed order, this works - however I would like to find a better solution.

Well - IF given enough time you will figure things out. I found a solution to skipping buttons on forms and also on sub forms that are instances ( this was was a little tougher ) In both cases I am just using a setfocus to the next field on the form or in the case of instance the next field in the group of instances which skips over buttons that are on the sub form instance ie.(Delete Button). They are still active and can be pressed anytime. This solution helps skipping over the add instance buttons and the ( delete instances button which I have chose to make part of the instance subform ).
