Let's diagnose:

(1) Taborder assignments are being changed by your popup

(a) Using debugger, select each control with a tab order and write down the name of the control and taborder.

(b) Run your popup the close it. Do the diagnostic again. Have any of the taborders changed? If so, something is your popup is changing the tab orders.

(c) Run the process again with debugger on and the local screen displaying the taborder of a control whose taborder was changed. Trace through the popup code line by line until the change occurs. That's probably the problem.

(2) Taborders were nor changed, but Windows/VFP has lost track of them. "Remind" VFP of the taborders by reassigning them to themselves with the controls collection: myControl.taborder = myControl.taborder.

If these steps do not isolate the problem, come back.
