Tab to Next Field

[Suicidally Frustrated]

I've created a new form with [90] fill-in and x-box
fields. I want the Tab Key to move from field-to-field
through the form -- and I THINK I need to create
a "macro" -- but I'll be damned if I can figure out how.
Can anyone tell me how to do this, step-by-step?
PLEEZE! (And THANX.)

You need to protect the form. With the forms toolbar click the padlock
icon.

You can find a bunch of free tutorials on creating forms in Word on my web site here: http://www.mousetrax.com/techpage.html#autoforms.

Pay particularly attention to the series "Please Fill Out This Form"...as that is a great starter set of articles to get you rolling. I walk you through the whole process from knowing nothing to connecting to databases.

Have fun! ;-)

Protect the form (use the little lock button on the Forms toolbar). What you
are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help.
For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
