Hi Rick,

I looked at the Tab Order box, the order of the controls right now is
set
to
first the top and then left to right in order of controls layout on the
form
is Design Mode.

In my code, here is how I set the tabindex.

Sub TYPE1

DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName

Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!trackingnumber.TabIndex = 0
Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!txtDate.TabIndex = 1
Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!cboSourceType.TabIndex = 2

Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!cboSourceName.TabIndex = 3
Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!txtSourceNumber.TabIndex = 4
Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!txtRCTrackingNumber.TabIndex = 5
......
.....
End Sub

You mentioned set the order from highest to lowest. I do not know what
is
this - could you explain please.

What I meant is you could try...

DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName

Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!txtRCTrackingNumber.TabIndex = 5
Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!txtSourceNumber.TabIndex = 4
Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!cboSourceName.TabIndex = 3
Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!cboSourceType.TabIndex = 2
Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!txtDate.TabIndex = 1
Forms![Adverse Reaction Report]!trackingnumber.TabIndex = 0

I don't know if that will make any difference, but often the reshuffling
caused by changing an ordinal setting causes problems unless you traverse
them backwards.
