User interface design is said to be a combination of art and science. Can it
be that there are 146 mandatory fields to be correctly filled out for each
single entry ? This is overwhelming for any user, tab order fixed or not, it
is not a platform question. See if one entry can inherit something from the
previous, if something can be a qualified guess by the form, if it van be
enterede in parts, ...

What i am trying to do is setup a form that can be filled out. There is a
top section, and then a left and right section all on the same page, yet i
dont want it to tab over into the right section until all of the left is
complete. That is why i want to name the cells in order, but i have over
146
cells to fill in. So i am lost on what to do, because it needs to be
protected, yet tab correctly. Anyother software that might work better if
excel cannot?
