PRB: Clicking Mouse in Wizard Background Changes Focus
'Article ID: Q95565

Creation Date: 17-FEB-1993

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0

SYMPTOMS

When use you the Form Wizard or the Report Wizard, you can change the input focus by clicking the mouse in different portions of the background in the Form Wizard or Report Wizard window. For example, if you click the mouse at the bottom of the Form Wizard (in the area that contains the &quot;Cancel,&quot; &quot;Back,&quot; and &quot;Next&quot; buttons), Microsoft Access gives the input focus to a control in that colored area.

CAUSE

The input focus changed because the Form Wizard and Report Wizard are forms that contain a Detail section and a Footer section. Clicking the mouse in the Footer section (that contains the buttons) moves the input focus to the first enabled control in this section (the tab order determines which control is first). However, the input focus does not move if you click the mouse in the section that contains a control that already has the input focus.
