We are getting inconsistencies with a User Form in how the Tab key
functions. There are times when it advances from form field to form field,
and other times when it only advances the cursor within the active form
field.

Why is this not consistent and how can we control this?

We want the Tab to always advance to the next field.
Note: We are using automation on this form to get data from Outlook; but
that should not affect anything.

Any clues?

You need to check the "Tab order" of the controls placed on your userform.
With the form displayed, from the View menu, choose "Tab order". There you
can check and set the tab order.

Have you looked at the TabKeyBehavior property of the controls?

The TabKeyBehavior and Multiline are always set to FALSE---I should have
mentioned that at the onset.
Curiously, however, ComboBoxes are also affected.
