Check the tabbing order [Select 'View'-->'Tab Order' to see the order] If you want to change their order, hold SHIFT and click on the field you want to designate as Tab 1, release the SHIFT key and click the other fields to number accordingly. Perhaps they are out of order and that is why it skips over the 5 textboxes? Im a total noob so dont take my advice as concrete.
As for my original issue, would you happen to know how to prompt information based off of a selection of the radio button? Or do you know what Im talking about, at least? For instance, in the Help section of Adobe LiveCycle under Setting a mutually exclusive group of radio buttons there is an example where the form has a Terms and Conditions section. The user is supposed to choose the method of payment, radiobutton1 being Cash and radiobutton2 being Credit card. If the user selects credit card, is there a way to prompt for the cc#, exp date etc AFTER that selection has been made? I mean to make it now visible as opposed to before where only the yes no selections were visible? In my personal case with my form I have a yes or no radio button set and when the user marks one there are a few questions that need to be answered based off the original selection. Ive been playing around with the whole hidden field stuff but I dont grasp this concept and I know it can be done, not necessarily with LiveCycle but somehow.
