How does one control the sequence in which the [TAB] key moves from control to control?
I have a form with three text boxes, six option buttons, and two command buttons. I want the [TAB] key to go Text1, Text2, Option Buttons (in a frame), Text3, Command1, Command2.
Please help.
Thanks,
Al.
ps. Is it just me or is the time on this BB an hour off?

You set it with the TabIndex property, starting at 0 (of course)

Hey rOach,
Thanks. I should have known it was that simple.
I'm new to forms and only six months into VB. All my programs for the past six months have been formless.
Thanks again,
Al.

No problem ;)

r0ach way is to set Tab Index Property at run time.
To set it at design time you can clik on the last control you want to stop, press F4 and set Tab property to 0.
Then proceed back way to the first control, setting always Tab property to 0. This sounds weird but is the recommended procedure. VB always rearrange the Tab property so when you reach the first control, all ar set OK.
As for the time: I copied/pasted this from VB-World page:
"All times are ET (US). All dates are in Month-Day-Year format."

I didn't put those as code, but as a way to show the order in which the controls' TabIndex properties should be set to have them in the required sequence. Maybe i shouldn't have put it in those code bracket thingies, hey?! ;)
