Default How to keep the page position same after pressing tab Legacy dropdown box

Hi,

I have created some legacy dropdown boxes.

I am facing few issues. First, If I press tab on the last dropdown box in page 2 it goes back to first dropdown box at page 1. Can someone guide me on how to keep the same position at last dropdown box in page 2.



Second is it possible to create (first dropdown box) bullet points inside the code so there are no bullet points when the option No is selected.

Thankyou

By design, tabbing out of a formfield takes you to the next available formfield.

One wonders why you're persisting with formfields when content controls are available.

Moreover, given your other thread where you're using checkbox content controls, you should note that formfields and content controls should not be used in the same document. They weren't designed to be used that way and trying to do so is a known source of problems - especially when checkboxes are involved.

Because content control required VBA and I am not good at it.

I am not using both together just trying to work out which one will work better.

As for now formfields are working better.

Should I add a legacy textfield below the last option so that way it will stay there or is there any other option.

Thanks for your answers.

Content Controls do not require vba.
