Tabbing through fields

I just built a Form front-end to a SQL table that seems to
function properly except that when the "TAB" button is
pressed to move to the next field it does not highlight
the field but just places the cursor at the beginning of
the field if it is already populated. I was wanting to
highlight the field or enter the field at the end of the
entry in the field to make it easier for data entry or
editing. For exaple: I have a field that is formatted
for "currency" and given a default value of "0" (zero) and
when the user tabs into this field it places the cursor
before (to the left of ) the "$" which makes the user
highlight the entry or use the arrow keys to move to the
right of the "$" to put in an entry or edit an entry. Is
there something i am missing? I do not remember having
this problem before... THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!
