PROBLEM: Appears there is no way to skip fields during tabbing. Specifically CHECK BOX fields (at this point).

GOAL: Skip check box fields (actually ANY field I wish) during data entry.

Any way to turn OFF the tabbing feature for CHECK BOX fields?

i believe the only way to skip tabbing, is setting the field as "protected", but it will then not allow any data entry either.

you can do it manually, by putting setFocus() on that field's event, to make it skip to the next one.

Wow, that really sucks. I've found LiveCycle to be buggy and the fillable fields design sucks too.
