When InfoMaker generates the basic form, it assigns controls (including data columns) to a default tab order, the default sequence in which focus moves from control to control when you press the tab key when running the form. InfoMaker assigns tab values in increments of 1,0 in left-to-right and top-to-bottom order.
Tab order is not used in the Layout view
Tab order is used only when a form is run, not in the Layout
view.
You can change the tab order.
To change the tab order in a form:
Click the Tab Order button in the PainterBar, or select Format>Tab Order from the menu bar
The current tab order displays.
Use the mouse or press the tab key to select the tab value you want to change.
Enter a new tab value (0-9999).
The value 0 removes the control from the tab order so that you cannot tab to the control. It does not matter what value you use (other than 0); all that matters is a relative value. For example, if you want to tab to column B after column A but before column C, set the tab value for column B so that it is between the value for column A and the value for column C.
Repeat the procedure until you have the tab order you want.
Click the Tab Order button in the PainterBar again, or select Format>Tab Order from the menu bar again.
InfoMaker saves the tab order and the tab-order display turns off.
Each time you select Tab Order, InfoMaker reassigns tab values to include any controls that have been added to the form and to allow space for inserting new controls in the tab order.
