    Include checkboxes in "locked cell tabbing"

    I have a form with a mix of text, number and checkbox input. As you probably allready know itīs possible to tab through the unlocked input cells one by one. But I canīt include the checkboxes in this tabbing. Now the user have to use the mouse to select or unselect the boxes. I find this annoying and wish that it was possible to check/uncheck with tab and space.

    How do I do to make the tab sequence include the boxes?

    Hi,

    If these were created under Control Toolbox, have you checked that the 'Locked' property is set to False?

    Thanks, but yes. No matter what I choose the tab sequence just ignores the boxes.

    The choice of locking or unlocking the checkboxes doesnīt seem to have any effect on the possibility to check or uncheck them. It does however limit the users ability to move the box and change the text connected to the checkbox.

    I just donīt like to mix mouse and keyboard input.

    I was formerly unable to tab either, but using

    allows the tab to proceed.

    You need to amend the sheet name to your sheet.

    Let me know how you go
