What you do is select the objects in the order you want them (first to last) then Send to Back. Or, last to first, Bring to Front.

Hello All,
we've cracked it between us ( George was almost right )
1) Select the objects from first to last ( the froward tab order required )
2) Select Screen/Bring to Front from the menu
3) Select all then Screen/Reorder Fields doesn't work for multiple columns of objects objects.
I thought I'd finished with DOS, but there again I thought I'd finished with COBOL, VMS, UNIX...
Thanks to all of you
