I am using Access 2007 and have noticed on one of my forms that the tab
control is skippping fields when i am entering inforamtion into the form. I
went into TAB ORDER but it wont let me select any fields to enable me to ove
them about. Does anyone know how to fix this. Incase it makes a diference
the form is made up using subforms as well
 
Do all the fields have the option tabstop set to yes? Otherwise click on the
row of the field (at the very beginnen of that little block) to select it and
move it around when the mousepointer is an arrow.

Click to expand...

The controls on each subform have *their own* tab order, within that subform.
Perhaps that's the source of the confusion! A Subform Control has a place in
the main form's tab order; when you tab to a subform the focus passes to the
first control *in that subform's* tab order, and then to the other controls in
that subform.
