Changing the Tab Sequence on a Form

To change the tab sequence:

1. On the form with which you are working, select Layout, and then Tab Sequence.

   FDA displays each control so you see its number in the tab sequence instead of its name.

2. Click the controls in the order in which you want the cursor to travel.

   The first control that you click becomes number one, the second becomes number two, and so on. To reset the numbers to their original values, right-click anywhere in the window.

   Note: Subforms contain their own sequence orders for objects on the subform. Therefore, you set the tab sequence on each subform within the subform itself. The subform, then, becomes a single object in the tab sequence for the power form.

3. Click Layout, and then Tab Sequence again to stop selecting the sequence.

OR

1. Click Layout, and then click Update Tab Sequence.

2. Right-click on a control on which you want to change the tab sequence.

   The Tab Sequence field displays.

3. Change the number in the field to reflect where you want that field in sequence to the other fields.

4. Press Enter.

   FDA automatically adjusts the remaining fields in the sequence. For example, if you change a field sequence from 2 to 4 the remaining fields adjust as follows:

   Original Field Sequence	Adjusted Field Sequence
   Field 1	Field 1
   Field 2	Field 4
   Field 3	Field 2
   Field 4	Field 3
