Post subject: Unable to change the Tab Sequence on a Microsoft Word 2007 Form Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>vba>userforms (more info?)
I'm using Microsoft Word 2007 albeit designing a form in compatibility mode
so other users with older versions of Word can use. Instead of using Form
Fields we elected to use TextBoxes. After we designed the form we protected
it for form fields and began to use it. Everything works except for the tab
order. It doesn't tab in the order that we want it however we can't find a
way to change this behavior.
Any ideas? We have done everything we can think of. We even put code in on
the KeyUP event of every text box to try and go to the proper text box but
this doesn't work properly either.
I can send you the form if it will help as well. Thank you.

Hi Brian,
You can't (easily) set the tab order of fields on a protected form
document.
The only way to possibly do so is to hook into the onentry and onexit
macros for the fields to change the focus/selection. In my opinion
this is not worth the effort. ie. on exit from this one you will
select this specific field. Of course that means that the then user
won't be able to click on a fields in a different order.
Cheers
TonyS.
