How do I get Reader X to skip read only fields from tab order?

[Former Community Member]

I have createde some forms i LiveCycle with text fields connected to barcode fields. When you exit the text field the barcode field displays the same value. The barcode fields are read-only.

When using  Adobe Reader version 7 you never enter the barcode fields, but since installing version X you have to tab through the barcode fields. I do not want those extra key strokes. Does someone know how to prevent them?

Make the fields as Protected insted of readonly to skip the tab.
