Ann asks:
Is there a way to change the order of the tabs as you enter new
information for a new contact...i.e, it tabs from Name to Title to Company
then it jumps to the phone/fax/mobile fields and then back to the address.
Can it be changed to tab from Name to Title to Company and then directly to
address...then to phone fields?
Yes, you can change the tab index (order). Keep in mind if you use Outlook
2003, you'll lose the image on the Contacts form and will revert back to the
look of the form found in older versions when you edit the first page of the
form.
You need to open the form in Design mode (Tools, Forms, Design a form),
then:
Select the Address button, then Forms, Advanced properties.
Locate Tab Index and change it to a different number.
Click on the Address text box and change the tab index value to the next
higher number (from the one used for the Address button).
Run the form to test (Tools menu)
The other field's Tab indexes should adjust accordingly, if not you'll need
to change them also. Once they are in the order you desire, publish (look on
the form's Tools menu) and set the form as default (the folder's
Properties).
Convert existing items to use new form:
