You can show a listview of all the items with mover bars instead of the default way of numbering the items directly on the form.

First, go to the Tools-->Options menu and select the Forms page. On the dropdown for "Tab ordering", select "By list". Then, when you are in the form designer and you select the View-->Tab order option, you'll get the listview.

There are two ways of setting tabbing order. I suggest you try the following:

Go to Tools/Options/Forms and set 'Tab ordering' there to "By List".

Then, when you click on "Tab ordering" on a form, the list of the names of your controls are presented in tab order -- and you can drag the icon in the first column to move the controls into the order you want.
