Hi,
Does anyone know how to remove a field from the tab order? I have a 4 page form with 5 global fields, I don't see the point of having to tab through those fields when you get to page 2, 3 and 4 but can not figure out how to remove them from the tab order.

Thanks,
Lisa

Well, I'm not sure if there is a way to really remove a field from the sequence, but if you ctrl+shift+click on the field you don't want to tab to, it should skip over it. It will change colors from blue to tan (mine does anyway). Hope this helps!

By coincidence, I found an answer to this question this morning in the book _Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe® LiveCycle® Designer_. In the field you want skipped in the tab order, put the following code:

$.access = "protected"

I put it in the docReady event and it worked perfectly.

I have read elsewhere that if you set the field to read only it should also be skipped, but that never worked for me.

HTH,
Kathryn
