yes/no tabs on forms

[Linda]

I have forms with yes/no fields. When I use my tab key to go to the check
boxes, most of the time, the tab displays on the label and I can tell where
my cursor is, but on one form, this is not the case. The tab works, but
nothing shows me where my cursor is - if I press my space bar, the checkbox
checks - all that works fine, but I cannot see where the cursor is. This
occurs on the same form - I have 25 checkboxes in different areas - they all
show the cursor with the exception of 4 of them. I have checked the
properties and the tables to see if formatting is different - all looks the
same.
Please help

I believe that sometimes occurs when you change the tab order and move them
around. Try deleting them and then adding them back from the field list.

In addition to Arvin's suggestion, it's possible that the Label controls have
become unattached to their corresponding Checkbox control. Try selecting the
offending labels; type Ctrl-X to cut them to the clipboard; select the
checkbox control; and type Ctrl-V to paste the label back on. Its Parent
property should be the name of the checkbox (and that's another way to
reattach).
