of text boxes tabbed to that word uses. Hope this makes

Hi Jacinta

Here are some caveats about the code on that web page:

1. The code only work with TextBox FormFields, CheckBox or DropDown FormFields break it.
2. If you want to go to the previous FormField using Shift+Tab, your out of luck that
doesn't work either
3. You can't click on the next field you want to fill in using the mouse either

If you can live with all these limitaion, that's good. If you can't post you email
address and I email you an addin that generates the code required to implement all of the
above functionality correctly.

Hi Jacinta

I can forward you the AddIn, but the documentation for it was stored within Outlook.
Unfortunately I suffered a system failure a couple of weeks ago and despite backups I've
lost a years Outlook data. It will take me a little while to recreate the overview,
feature set and usage instructions. So please bare with me for 2 or 3 days.
