Tab Order within a frame
 

I have a form that I'm trying to set the tab order. There are 6 items within
a frame, 5 text boxes, and 2 buttons. I've coded the tab order so it should
tab
through the (1) 2 text boxes, (2) 2 buttons, (3) 3 text boxes, and then (4)
the 6 items in the frame. The frame has 5 radio buttons and 3 more text
boxes.

However, when I try to tab throught the items it works like I expect for the
items outside of the frame and most if the items within the frame. I can tab
through the 5 radio buttons and then I expect it to tab through the 3 text
boxes (within the frame). But that does not happen. It tabs through the 5
radio buttons in the frame and then jumps back to the first text box (outside
of the frame).

I'm trying to get it to tab through the 3 text boxes (within the frame)
after the 5 radio buttons. I've checked the properties and I think I have
them all set correctly. Is there a way around this or do I have to add
another frame for the last 3
text boxes within my original frame?

Thanks for the help...............

Tab Order within a frame
 

I set up a userform as you describe and it worked fine for me.

then (4)
the 6 items in the frame. The frame has 5 radio buttons and 3 more text
boxes.

although you said 6 items, I added 8 items - 5 radio buttons and 3
textboxes.

Tab Order within a frame
 

Try right clicking on the userform (not the frame) and selecting tab order.
Then set that order placing the frame where you would like to have it. After
that, right click inside the frame and do the same for the items inside the
frame. If that doesn't work, make sure that all items you want to have a tab
stop at have the TabStop property marked as true.
