To set "Tab Order" you need to open the Form in "Design
View" and display the properties.
There are two methods of setting the Tab Order.
1. Select each Control individually, starting with the
First Control a user is to start at and select the select
the "Other" Tab Page. On this Page there are two
Properties "Tab Stop" and "Tab Index". Set "Tab Stop"
to "Yes" If you want the Tab to stop at the Control,
selecting "No" will "Skip" the Control." Set the Tab
Index by typing in a number, note that the Tab Index will
always start at 0.
The other method is to right click in the detail section
of the Form then select "Tab Order". All of the Controls
are listed. Click on the Grey Box adjacent to the Control
Name then drag up or down.

I built a db tracking contributions by both member name
or by envelope #, a number assigned to a specific
contributor to be used each Sunday. The user can enter
the $ amount either by name or by envelope number and post
the transaction. I've been asked to change the tab order
so that the person entering the data can go from Envelope
number, to Pstamount to Post Transaction and then return
to the Envelope number field using only the tab key. The
name reference can be used (CboNameLookup), but only with
the mouse. The fields I have available on this form are
EnvelopeNum, txtAmt, cmdPost, CboNameLookup, lboPayments,
ID, FirstName, LastName, CloseForm. How do I do this?
