Tabbing through fields

[jplum]

Is there a property that needs to be set in order for the value of the field you are tabbing to, to be selected? So that you can tab to a field that already has a value in it and just start typing, which will over write the current value.

This is a bit hard to explain.

Thanks

When you say field do you mean a text box? If you do then that is what already happens. If you can explain you problem a bit more it could help.
I put a couple of text boxes and a button on a form. When I tabbed to the text boxes the value was selected so I could overwrite without any problem. That'l do donkey, that'l do

Yes that is what I meant. I have both text boxes and NumericUpDown boxes on my form and neither of them work like that. Once you put the text boxes on your form did you have to set any particular property for them or did they just automatically work like that?

Thanks!

Hi,
Bring your form up in design mode.
Click on menu "Display" and option "Tabulation Order"
Now the tab order of every object is displayed on the form.
Click each object in the order you want them to tab, the tab order changes (starting at 0).
Save when finished.
Enjoy!
