[AccessD] Senior Moments Galore today

My experience has been that focus and tab order is assigned in the order
that controls are added to the Form.

Sorry I cannot enlighten you as to why.

I built a bound form. I added a textbox to the form header, and I expected
this to get the focus upon opening the form, but instead the focus is going
to the first field on the form.

Easy enough to fix of course. Just set the focus in the OnOpen. But why do I
have to do that? I would have thought that the natural order would be
Header, Detail, Footer unless otherwise specified.
