Changing Tab Order

If you commonly enter data into a database and would rather not have to use the mouse to select fields, you can normally use the TAB key to switch fields. Sometimes, however, databases are not set up so that the TAB key goes to the next field. It may jump ahead 5 fields, then back 3, then ahead another 8, etc. To fix this, go to the database layout mode. Click the "Mode" menu, then "Set Tab Order..." You can now choose which field is the first that gets selected when you hit the TAB key, which is the second to be selected, etc.
