does anyone have/know where i can get hold of some sort of add-in for VB that'll indicate [on screen] the [tt]tab[/tt] order and let me renumber items easier than having to use the [tt]properties[/tt]

No, but meanwhile, you can manually do this in reverse order by starting with the last control and entering 0 for TabIndex. Then simply move backwards and enter 0 for the TabIndex for each control. If you place your fingers at just the right place, you can do this real quick.

If anyone has such an Add-In, that would be awesome!
 
i remember acquiring something from the web some time ago that put little numbers at the side of each field to indicate it's tab order - allowing the tabNumber and tabStop properties to be set quite easily... but alas this was several reinstalls ago, in the meantime this is quite a splendind tip - cheers!

aha it's one of the Sheridan activeX controls. it's fairly useful whilst developing a form but it's one of those 'have to pay for' situations!

On MSDN CD you have a example of TabOrder ,launch and compile the example ,after that you have a TabOrder Addin in VB6 to sort the TabIndex with drag and drop in the TabOrder
