Moving between boxes in forms

[Abigail]

How do you 'program' the curser to jump to the box you
want it to jump to in a form?

Ie I have a form with the two input cells running across
the page and a number down the page. I would like the
curser to jump from the first left box to the first right
box then to the second left box, the second right box, and
so on either by pressing tab or return.

Thanks

You are referring to Tab Order and Tab Index. You can set the order in
which you want your controls to have the focus individually, using each
control's Tab Index property, starting with 0 for the first control.

Or, you can right click in the upper left corner of the form's design (the
little box to the left of the ruler), and select the TabOrder wizard.
