I keep forgetting to post this suggestion/request: Could Helix 6 improve the control the designer has over the field tab sequence on a form? Maybe let you assign a "Tab Sequence Number" to each field on a form?

I have some forms that have a number of field in vertical columns....and I just can't get it to tab in the sequence I want.

Just a thought....

Have you tried "wrapping" them in a rectangle ??

Hi Fred,

Yes, but I have some forms like bill of ladings, but there are "areas" I can't wrap because of the way the form is layed out. A window where you could drag and drop the name of the fields to set their order (and turn on/off Allow Tab attribute) would be nice....or maybe on the field style window a place to enter a psudo-number (1 to 1000?) that would set the tab sequence order....their default number maybe being the order the field was originally added to the form. This would (I think) be an easy option to add to Helix.

Maybe the "Tab Sequence #" would be displayed in the left side of the field in design mode? Maybe a green number if the Allow Tab attribute is yes, red if no.

Maybe someone else has some ideas on how to do it?

Thanks,
Jeff
