    Tabbing issue with date/time field types

    Using the tab key to advance between fields works fine when not making changes, or if one types a date into the date field.  However, if I use the mouse to pick the date, then the cursor disappears and restarts at the top of the screen on the next tab. Am I missing something here, or is this how it's supposed to work?  If so, can it be fixed to tab normally from left to right?

     

    thanks,

    Rolf

    I was able to reproduce the tab function and it is working as described. If you want it to work differently then may I suggest a workaround. If you add actions to 'lose focus' on the field date, to go to the next field / object, then this will help with the way you like it to function. I will inquire with our developers if this might be altered to suit your needs.

    Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Ted,

    Thanks for your suggestions.  Although workarounds are fine, I have a large number of date fields which would all require fixing to make them work as I would like them too.  Unfortunately, I am now also experiencing similar issues with regular drop down fields.  The movement of the cursur after entries seems to be almost random, jumping all over my screen, so fixing them as well would be quite a job.  Moreover, randomness in programmes tends to make me rather nervous. I guess my real question is are these things all working as the designers intended, and if not, when will they be addressed?

    thanks again,

    Rolf
