Tab Order from a copied form

[Peter]

Hi all, and thanks for a great place to ask and learn!

I copied from A to B. Form B...Different record Source and Caption...still
has the old taborder list with the old controlls in the list...?

How do i get a new Taborder with the current controlls on the list?

Thanks!

just what did you copy? the entire form? if so, then changing the
RecordSource is not enough. you also have to either 1) delete the controls
and drag new controls into the form from the Field List (or add new controls
manually), or 2) change the ControlSource of each control to a field in the
Field List. note that the Tab Order box lists *control names*, not
fieldnames. so if you keep the same controls and change their ControlSource
properties but not their Name properties, the Tab Order box will show the
same controls it shows now.
