Hi all

Finally i have found the problem of the tab-key disactivated:

the problem is with the property MSD of the caller form, if it is assigned to false then the tab key in the called subform is disactivated when you push it to move among the fields inside. i have attached this message with to programs that call a main form which
contains a pushbutton. clicking it will open a subform that contain some fields, so you
can test the tab key. calling _main1.prg, tab-key function well. calling _main2.prg, then the tab-key is disactivated.

Thank you
