shift-tab not tabbing in reverse

[billworld]

I like the way RR goes about setting the field tab-into order. However, I'm bothered that shift-tab doesn't send the focus back to the previous field in the tab order. This is pretty much standard for any app. that provides tabbing.

Why isn't this built-in to RR?

Am I correct in assuming that to accomplish this functionality I'd have to set a script for each field in the tab sequence to go back to the prior field upon receiving a shift-tab keystroke?

If that's the case, is their a way to automate inserting the same scripting routine into dozens of fields? (Well, I'm sure there's a way, just need little help understanding how to accomplish it.)

Thanks

Bill

Hi Bill,

how exactly did you set this up?
For the most part this appears to work under Rev. Do you have a simple demo stack, where it does not?

Cheers,

Hold on... I'm seeing that shift-tab DOES work to tab-back in some fields. Need to dig deeper as to why it wasn't working on some of the fields I was trying it on...

Problem solved. I still had some fields with tabstops set to their default of 75 (been struggling with that in a diff. thread). Anyway, if a field has a tabsopt, then you can't back tab out of it.
