Tab behaviour in continuous forms
Novice
Windows 10 
Access 2016
I have a DB with continuous forms.
The forms have a number of fields where are displayed in a single row.
When I press the Tab or Enter keys the curser moves down to the same field in the next record.
I want to use the Tab or Enter keys to move across the form to each field and then down to the next record.
Can anyone in the Access world point me in the right direction?
I am using Access 365.

That happens with any control?
Look at the TabOrder property.

as suggested use Tab Order on Design view of your form.

In Design View of the Form, RightClick on the small square to the Left of the Ruler and then select Tab Order from the Menu Displayed.

Problem sorted, me being stupid as normal.
I had set the Tab Order but left the Tab Stop to "No".
Many thanks for the replies, they made me look closer to what I had done.
