Hi John,

Is your your form created programatically? If not I have a form builder I downloaded from here a while back that reorders the form objects according to the taborder property.

I have been using it to make sure that the taborder on the form is correct and not jumping all over the form. It does not work for tabbed forms though. I can e-mail it to you if you like.

HTH,
Arriyel
