Hi,
I am experiencing some very odd behavior from Access 97 in the Form Design view. I have a form with about 30 control boxes. I went in to set the tab order on the controls, saved, viewed, and the tab order was all messed up. When I go back into design view to look at the "tab order" box that I just set, most of them appear to have some random value between 20 and 60.

It gets even stranger. If I set the tab order value, and then tab out of that field, the tab order agen reverts to some random value. If I go back and reset the field, then tab out again, it reverts to some different random value. The random value usually decrements by one each time I repeat the process, although this isn't always the case.

Anyone ever heard of this odd behavior before? More importantly, do you know of how to make it stop?

TIA,
mattc

Did you use the View tab order from the menubar to drag the controls to the desired order?
