When I create a new form the tabbing order seems to get set according to the
order in which the coltrols are inserted. However, if I later decide I have
to put in a new control in then middle of the ones created earlier the
resulting tabbing order is jumbled when the form is used. So, I seek to
revise the order so tabbing goes from top to bottom and from left to right.

The problem is if I reset the TabIndexes in the properties sheet they don't
stick. I.e., if I change the TabIndex for a control for 23 to 2, then 14 to
3, etc, when I go back to those controls later the tab indices have changed
to something else. How do I force it to keep the indicies I assign?

TIA

Hi Ed

Rightclick the userform, select Tab order and do your things there.
Note that Frames, multipages and other containers need individual treatment.
