    Using Tab Key in Forms

    I want the user to use the tab key to move through the fields on a form. I am not a VB programmer, and am having a difficult time getting started.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    ummmm... tell them to press tab???

    when you press the tab key in vb it automatically moves to the next field.. if you want it in a certain order then just set the .tabindex property on each control(textbox) to the appropriate order

    Well, then...

    There may be something wrong with my form itself, because the tab doesn't work that way...everything I can read tells me I need a macro to do this, and that's where I'm stuck.

    Maybe I need a Word tutor instead of a VB tutor.

    Thanks anyway.

    What are you trying to do? Use the Tab key to navigate through controls in a Form? If so, this should work without the use of additional code.
