How do I reset the tab order in a form
I unprotected the fields that I want the users to fill and, after making some
changes, the tab order was changed. After the fisrt 6 or 7 fields, the tab is in a loop and goes back to the same last 3 fields. |

How do I reset the tab order in a form
When you have the form open in the VBE environment, use "View / Tab
Order" on the menu system and have at it. You'll also want to make sure that, in the properties of the relevant form objects, that "TabStop" is set to "True". If it isn't you won't be able to tab to it even though it has a position in the "Tab Order" list.

How do I reset the tab order in a form
I am not working in VBE environment, I don't even know what it is. This is a
simple Excel worksheet. I know how to change the tab order in Access but I am stuck here in Excel... Any other suggestions?

How do I reset the tab order in a form
Lyne,
Seems I misunderstood your problem, so thanks for the follow-up. When you say 'fields' do you mean just the cells in an Excel spreadsheet? If so, have you checked their "Locked" properties (Right- click for the cell menu, then "Format" then "Protection"; alternately do "Format / Cells ... ")? = M = On Feb 9, 1:33 pm, Lyne wrote: I am not working in VBE environment, I don't even know what it is. This is a simpleExcelworksheet.

How do I reset the tab order in a form
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I meant just the cells in an Excel
spreadsheet. The whole sheet is locked except for the cells where I want the users to input data. When I tab, everything is fine for the first 6 cells, then pressing tab again brings me back to cells 4, 5 and 6, over and over again... I checked and rechecked everything (it's not the first time I]ve done something similar) and I just can't figure out what's wrong !
