I can't figure out how to set the tab order for a form in Access 2007. I
spent at least 20 minutes at the so-called online Access help and couldn't
find this. It's easy to find for Access 2003, but not 2007. Indirectly
related to this, F1 doesn't bring up help. Is there "help" associated with
Access 2007? Thanks very much.

You have two ways of doing it in design view:
1) Right-click any object and select Tab Order
2) In the ribbon at the top, select Arrange. In the Control Layout section
you'll see Snap to Grid and Tab Order
I know 2007 takes a bit of time getting used to. Stick with it. Everything
that was pertinent in 2003 is available in the ribbons somewhere. It just
takes time to adjust/remember where they are.

I want to thank you for your answer. Now that you've done so, it seems
obvious. I really appreciate the help.

Robert, in form design, right click on that little box with the square in it
(upper left) above the Detail Section.

Thanks very much. I should have know this. I've gotten really rusty in
Access as I haven't used it in about a year, and I'm finding the new version
a bit disorienting.
Thanks again,
Bob

In Form Design -> Click on the Arrange Tab (It will only appear when
you are in form designer.
There is a Tab Order Button about the middle of the ribbon
Right below snap to grid in the control layout group.
Hope that Helps,

Again, thanks. There it is. I looked all over the ribbon trying to find it,
but I missed it. Thanks again.
