Hello
I am new to Access 2007 and one of the new features seems to be the controls that are generated from a form wizard are grouped together. When you click on the top control for example it shows all of the text boxes highlighted.
I created the form based on a query and the form layout was something like this:
first_name
last_name
street_address
city
state
zip
What I am trying to do is to get the layout to appear like this:
first_name last_name
street_address
city state zip
This is just to make it appear more like how an address would be written on a letter.
In any case, I can set it up that way by cutting and pasting and moving the controls around.
Here is the problem: no matter what I do I cannot set up the tab order correctly. I put in the numbers the way I want it, but immediately after I set them they change to another value.
What I think is happening is that the tab index is adhering to the control grouping even though I have "broken it up" by cut and pasting the controls were i want them.
I hope I am explaining this well enough. Does anyone know how to prevent Access from changing the tab order?
Thank you.
