Database Documenter did exactly what I wanted... TYVM Tom

Is there any way that I can print out the full Table Design page, showing the Field Names and Data Type? I have inherited a DB with way too many Fields all in one table, but I'd like to print out the entire list of them before I start deciding which to split off into a different table. Thanks...

Correct... I found that out already..."You need to cut and paste. Dragging won't do it." Tom

OK, so I had a brief go at your first suggestion (moving the tab control around) and I can now clearly see the problem. After thinking about it a bit, I believe this will be the easier (?) way to go... rather than rebuilding the entire form. Tomorrow (Sunday) I'll have more time to work on...

WOW, a lot of steps.... but I love the idea of trying it. Not much to lose, especially if I do it with a COPY of the current form. Can't get to it immediately, but will before the day (or the weekend) is over. I really, really appreciate you having put so much time into this. Tom

Ouch! That sounds difficult.. but I do (think) I understand what you are saying.. and if you are right.. I see a lot of work ahead of me. Let me have a look and come back here... Tom

Unless I am misunderstanding the definition of the word "Tabs" (not tab stops) then all of my fields are already all on the one Tab. And no, I am not concerned about taking on anything (I see it as a learning experience) but again, I do think the fields that I want to change the tab stops of...

Oh boy... that sounds complex.. and difficult. I am not sure if my fields are in different sections... not sure how to know, but they are all meant to be together one after the other.

I hear you, and understand what you are saying... but the problem is that some of the tab fields I want are on one popup (TabOrder1) and some are on the other (TabOrder2). I have no idea how or why they are separated.. but they are and therefore can not seem to accomplish the order I am looking...

First, please remember that you are dealing with a real NEWBIE!! But trying my best to learn. What I want to do is set the form up so that an operator can tab from field to field in normal sequence. Now it seems that after the Suffix field the tab goes somewhere not even close to there... on...

Seems Odd that depending on how I go to look at the Tab Order... I get two different views. Seems the fields in what I have called TabOrder2... do not show up in TabOrder1.… and there is a grey box near SOME of the fields, but not all. Again, all very odd (to me).

I had not.. but have now... and see nothing that would appear to be doing that... Must be something else.

I have inherited a database that has passed through several administrators and is now a mess.… for me to clean up! And I am a relative newbie. One problem I can't seem to fix, or even affect at all, is the tab sequence. No matter what I do in terms of manually moving them or Auto-ordering...
