In a survey design, I added 2 subform in main form, each subform contained 4
check box for the multiple response question. I  pressed Tab key to move the
cursor to enter data in form view, everytime when the cursor reached the
last check box in one subform, the cursor went back to the first check box
again. I had to press Ctr+Tab to force the cursor get out of that subform
when it reached the end of the subform and continue data enter the next
field. This is not convenient for data entering people. Is there any other
solution in setting so that just continue pressing Tab key(or Enter key) to
get the cursor move out of the subform when it reaches the end of that
subform?

TIA

Kathy

You could try putting code (or a macro) on the OnExit event of the last
control of the subform, to force focus to the next control you want.

Kathy,

You could use the OnExit event for the last control on your subform.
For instance, you could use the following code to move the focus to a
control on the mainform:

Forms!frmMain.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToControl "ctlMain"

(frmMain = name of your main form; ctlMain = name of control on main form)

Mark

Kathy:  I would check the following:
- Make sure that your tab order is correct ("View" "Tab Order"), i.e. that
the subforms are one after the other in the tab list (note:  you have to be
on the Main Form before you go to the View Menu in order to check this).
- Check "Keyboard" tab in "Tools" "Options".  You may wish to change the
defaults there.
