Re: Prevent Tabbing To Field Disabled By InfoPath Rule.

Neither of the options you suggested will work.

I am extracting info from a data source and the fields need to be disabled & visible when a value can be pulled back. If there's no value for the field, then the user has to type one in.

I don't think InfoPath does this. The tabbing takes the focus to the field, even if it's disabled.

You could:

1. Instead of "Disable this control" select "Hide this control".

2. Use an expression box (calculated value) to display the value of the field.

When you do this, the tabbing will skip the Calculated Value (won't set focus on it).

Hope this helps!

Prevent Tabbing To Field Disabled By InfoPath Rule.

I am using InfoPath 2010 and have a number of fields that are disabled by rules on my form.

I would have expected that when a field is disabled, that the cursor would not tab to this field, it should skip it.

Is there any way to prevent tabbing to this field when it is disabled?
(the tabbing still needs to work when the field is not disabled)
