Does anybody know how to automaticly set the (a default) tab-order for a complete form.
MS have a sample program that will do basic setting for tab orders (search to "tab order wizard" in google), but as a rule it never quite gets it right, so it's still a nice manual job that got to be done.

The Tab order gets set based on the order on which you add a control to a form. The one and only way I've ever had TabOrders set for me is to design the form on paper first, and then add the controls in the order for which I want the Tab Order to be set.
This is not fool proof. Form design is always changing, but it is the closest I've ever come.
Thanks to you both.
It seems that Billy made a similar function for ordinary users in MSAccess (right click in the form, choose tab-order and click auto-order) but not for more educated people...
Weird...

Have u tried the TabIndex and TabStop properties at design time? Seems pretty easy that way
