Tab Order in Forms
I have created and form and protected it, when I am tabing through the fields
it is jumping to various fields instead of going in order. How do I get it to go in order so I can press tab and go through the fields in order? |

Tab Order in Forms
There is a property called "TabIndex" associated with controls on a form.
Changing this should change the Tab order. Note that it expects to see "0" as the first number. Technically, it should do them in order even if the first number isn't zero, but I ran into a bug previously (in Excel, though) which was fixed by changing the first control's Tabindex to "0".

Tab Order in Forms
How do I find the TabIndex and change it to "0" - I just inserted the field
by using the forms toolbar. I can get into the properties but I don't see TabIndex. "B J" wrote: There is a property called "TabIndex" associated with controls on a form.

You need a macro; see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/SetTabOrder.htm.
