You have to use F3 and F4 (Super Tabs) to get out of the table frame, or
ObjectPAL code it to do so differently

In my experience with this, the cursor, when it reaches the end of one
record in a table, will tabe to the first field of a new record in
that table. You could attach a method to the last field fo the table
to tab to the field that you want it to. attach an action method to
the last field to read :

method action( eventInfo )

if eventInfo.ID() = FieldForward then
disabledefault
Date.moveTo()
endIf

endMethod

or use ID.moveTo() if thats the field you want to move to. Good Luck
with it.
