when tab is pressed, is not going to next box; going all over 1

[Nate1749]

I'm trying to setup the form so that when tab is pressed it goes to the next box. I made the form with the wizard, and then moved everything around. Is there a way I can set an order or customize it somehow so that it goes to the next box rather than all around the form?

Very simple. Just go to the form design, select the form (in the upper left hand corner there is a gray box, if you select it it puts a black box in it). Right click on that black box and then go to Tab Order. There you can set up exactly how you want the tab system to go.

If I take a peek in your Windows, to fix a problem, does that make me a "Peeping Tom"? Hmmmmmmmmmm

Another way of doing it is to use the Tab Stop and Tab Index on the Properties box under the Other tab. Make sure all the controls Tab Stop Property is set to Yes. Then you can set the order of the controls by giving them a number. Make sure they are in sequential order, for I know not what evil things will do if it is not set right.
