Hi,

I have a form which contains 10 columns and 4 rows of text boxes. My 
problem is that when I enter data, the cursor jumps down, vertically.

is ti possible that the cursor jumps horizontal/left to right  from field
to field instead of down (verically).

Thanks 

Dinis

You have to set the tab index property of each text box.  The best way I
have found to change tab indexes for a form is start with the last control
that I want tab to go to and set it's index to 0 (zero).  Then work my way
back in the reverse order I want tab to take me and set each one to 0.
Access automatically renumbers tab stops anytime you use an existing number
by bumping the duplicate by 1 on down the chain.  By using this method
Accesses renumbering works for you.

Yes you can,

Open the form in design view.  At the top line menu, select View > Tab
Order.  Select the appropriate Form Section you want to set the tab
order in, then move the controls in the order you want them to be
tabbed.  (This is where your controls to somethnt that describes what
they are is useful).
