Pressing tab moves haphazardly around from

[Guest]

When I hit tab, I want to move to the next closest field on my form but instead my cursor moves haphazardly all over the place. Is there a way to make this move more systematically rather than having to put SetFocus in all the OnEnter fields one by one? Thanks.

Set the tab order in the Tab Order option.

You should be able to set the proper tab order in form design view. Click on View > Tab Order...
in form design, and set the appropriate order. You'll also want to verify that you have the Tab
Stop property for each control that you want to receive focus set to Yes. This property is found
on the Other tab of the properties dialog (View > Properties) for each control.

The tab order is completely configurable. Just right-click on the gray square
in the upper left corner while in design view and choose "Tab Order" from the
list.

Thanks you all. I really should just click around before running to you guys for help but it's become automatic.
