My tab order has stopped working

I am completely new to Access and have spent the past few weeks teaching
myself how to create a database. I have almost finished it, but I need to
rearrange my tabbing order. Up until now I have not had any problems, I have
amended it a few times; but for some reason it will now not let me select a
row to move. My cursor is highlighting more than one, when I try to choose a
row lower down the tab control box. There is probably an easy answer, but I'm
stuck!

Sounds like Windows thinks you've told it to "extend" the mouse selection --
I forget which key/mouse sequence can sometimes do this, but I have had it
happen to me in the past. If you cannot "clear" the setting by
right-clicking or by double-clicking, or by going to a different software
that is running on your computer (e.g., Windows Explorer) and clicking the
mouse while there, you may need to reboot the computer to clear the setting.
