I am creating a new form based on the contact form...
I have added a lot of new user defined fields on the first page and added
new pages with user defined fields also..

It is almost ready to use and I tried it and the tab order is all screwed
up... some fields don't get tabbed to at all.... etc..

Anybody know how to Set the tab order so when the user starts to fill out
the form you can go from field to field down the page ..etc...


thanks

If your fields are in a frame, right click on the frame
and select tab order. From here you move the fields into
the order you need them. It help if each field has been
named, other than the defaulds of txtbox??.
 
evidently the fields are not in a frame.. When I right click the fields
there is no option for "tab order" anywhere....
 
It's on the menu: Layout | Tab Order

One little problem.... the user defined fields are labeled as such....

It just has text boxes and the label for that text box... numbered from 1
to ...... 100 I think was the last one...

There are a lot of userdefined fields.....
Help?
 
Best practice is to name your controls after the fields or labels they
display. Without a good naming scheme, you can't expect to be able to
understand the tab layout order.
