using the tab key to navigate sheet to sheet on a page

Hello Yacine, we are using 2010. We do have 2013 available in my department only, not company wide.
I will check 2013 and Google it. I will share my discoveries.   Thank you.

We used 2010 to create this. I have 2013 at home and tried to use the Tab Key to navigate from sheet to sheet but doing so I get the same action as 2010. Looks like what I want to do in not doable. Thanx all for your help.
I really apperciate it!!

Hi Yacine, I just had a thought. If you found the tab key behaves differently in 2013 would you mind recording a macro while tabbing and send that to me? I would really apperciate it.

no action recorded! Sorry.

Hi Jim,
I kept thinking about your problem, because using visio as entry form is an interesting idea.
I collected some thoughts in the enclosed drawing.
1) would be Surrogate's suggestion, namely to protect all shapes, but the ones you need to edit
2) would be to catch the tab key press (you'll need to modify this to work without dialog)
3) work with a proper dialog

HTH and let me know what you think about,
Y.
