My tab order has stopped working

I am completely new to Access and have spent the past few weeks teaching
myself how to create a database. I have almost finished it, but I need to
rearrange my tabbing order. Up until now I have not had any problems, I have
amended it a few times; but for some reason it will now not let me select a
row to move. My cursor is highlighting more than one, when I try to choose a
row lower down the tab control box. There is probably an easy answer, but I'm
stuck!
 
Sounds like Windows thinks you've told it to "extend" the mouse selection --
I forget which key/mouse sequence can sometimes do this, but I have had it
happen to me in the past. If you cannot "clear" the setting by
right-clicking or by double-clicking, or by going to a different software
that is running on your computer (e.g., Windows Explorer) and clicking the
mouse while there, you may need to reboot the computer to clear the setting.
 
Thanks, will try rebooting.
