Tab Key sequence

Hi Guys,

You may remember this post from a while back?

Hi Guys, your going to love this one.

On the week number tab of the program, when you highlight a payment type and press the tab key, focus moves from description to the Hours / Units box however, on the pay tab of the program the action of the tab key focus goes half way round the world to get to the same box.

This may seem triviial but when you are processing lots of people (Sometimes 50 or more) with up to six payment types each it can cause quite a problem when you have to reach for the mouse to highlight the correct box. I know both pages used to react the same way, can the action / focus of the tab key be altered within the program? ...... please

Quite a few releases later and we still have the same problem, This does make the program cumbersome to use when everybodys figures are different each week amd you have 30 or more people to pay, are you likely to adjust this in the future?

Re: Tab Key sequence

Bill, We froze a copy of the software back in Jan/Feb, and we deliberately haven't been fixing anything other than significant bugs in the micro-releases that we've done over the past month or so. All of those bugfixes are the tiniest possible alterations to the frozen release, because we don't want any risk of breaking anything at this time of year.

Meanwhile we have a separate version of our software that we've been continuing to develop since January, with a whole pile of new features on their way. Included in that, and already done in our development set, is the tab re-ordering on the employee Pay tab.
