Hey everyone,

Very simple question I think---on my input form, I tab around to the different fields, but they do not move around in the correct order. How do I fix this so it is in order? I have no clue where to look for form order on Access 2.0----thanks,
JSF

In design view, goto 'other' tab in the properties window. The tab stop numbers go from 0 to number of fields - 1. Change these numbers to give you the sequence you desire.

In Access 97, in design view, you can select the form (click on the little box above the scroll bar on the left). Then go to the View -> Tab Order menu. You can select the items and then move them around to order them yourself or you can have Access auto order them.

I am not sure this works this way in Access 2.0, but I thought I would mention it just in case...

Ever notice that by the time that you realize that you ran a truncate script on the wrong instance, it is too late to stop it?
