[AccessD] A2K - Preventing the tab getting the focus

Be EXTREMELY careful when using Exit and LostFocus events.  For example,
what if the user is on the last field of the form, and decides to click on a
textbox in the middle of it?  The code you just posted will shoot them back
to the first one!

You'd think you could just set the tab control's Tab Stop property to "No",
but when you do so you also disable cyclic tabbing all together. The
workaround...

In the last control's LostFocus event...

	FirstControl.SetFocus

No dummy control needed, not quite so kludgy.
