Tab order problem

[msmithtlh]

I have a split database (program in one; data in second one). I recently added some fields to a major table in the database where the data is. Then, I re-linked the table, and added the new fields to the form in the "program" database. Fine, so far. I wanted to update the tab order to include the new fields in a left-to-right manner after inserting the new fields. However, "auto order" doesn't even list them. When I try to individually adjust the tab index on the fields, it reverts back to the value it had before my edits. Seems like this should be simple, but it isn't working. Is there some type of limit to number of fields? The table is fine, and where I have entered data in the updated form, it displays fine. But the tab order is not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are using data sheet , drag the columns in your order ,then save.
if a form, either set the tab order manually in TAB ORDER property,
or
use the TAB viewer to drag them to the correct order, then save.

I am using a form. As I said in the original post, when I set the tab index in the properties for each field on the form, it does not keep the value I type in. When I use the "tab order" tool on the design tab, it doesn't show my new fields, so I can't move what doesn't show up

I've never see that behavior before.... Would have to see your dB.
