Using the form - annoying a very issue

R

RitchieJHicks

I have designed all 12 of my forms, but have an annoying problem.

As I had to move the fields around, they now do not run in order when the
user pressed the "tab" key. Instead, they run on the order I imported them in
- which is ALL OVER THE SCREEN!

What can I do to make the form tabs run in order? I really don't want to
have to redesign my forms from scratch.

With the form open in design view, click View > Tab Order. Make your
choices there. You can also set the tabl order property of each control by
using the control's property sheet, but I think the View menu is quite a bit
simpler.

Open the form in desing mode...

then go view->tab order

At this point you can drag/drop the fields to set the order you wish.....
