Problem with using the TAB Key

I am working on an Audit form for my office. It was previous programmed by
the last guy in my position and the function that allows you to TAB to the
next choice functions incorrectly. Usually when you hit TAB it goes to the
next available drop-down menu. Whereas in his code it will go to the next
available within a certain block and then bounce down 3 blocks and then back
up to where it was supposed to be after finishing the choices within that
section. I am wondering if it's easy to just change his code or if it would
be easier to just completely re-write it. If anything I'm saying here is
confusing please tell me and I'll try to reitterate it. Btw, I'm new to
Access programming so, I may not be using correct terminology.

The tab order is initially determined by the order in which you add the
controls to the form.

To change it, open the form in Design mode, then select View | Tab Order
from the menu bar.

Douglas,
I appreciate the quick response. Unfortunately, this is honestly the first
time I've worked in designing in Access. So excuse my noob-ish questions.
How do I get the form in design mode? Like I said, I've used access forms
before but never designed them so, any help is GREATLY appreciated.

In the database window, click on Forms in the Objects pane. Then right-click
the form name and choose Design View

Thank you very much. I have found it now and will play with it later to get
it working. I appreciate the help and if I run into any other questions, you
can believe that you will be hearing from me again.

Thanks,
Kevin
