I have a form with many tables. there are cells that contain data that I
don't want changed. I would like to tab to the cells that will accept their
input and skip over the cels I have protected. However when I tab on the
table, the cursor stops at every cell. How can I get the cursor to skip over
the protected cells when I tab through the form?

Insert text formfields into the cells into which you want data to be entered
and protect the document for forms.
