If you set the tab order on a form and then go back and add a script to one of the fields, the tab order changes. Does anyone know why this happens? It's not a huge problem but it is inconvenient.

Just tried it here and I do not get that problem. Can you post your form and indicate what steps need to be taken to duplicate?

Sure, here's the form I just worked on. I've had this issue with every form I've ever worked on though, it's not a one time thing. I set the tab order using View >> Tab Order and then went back to put in a script to make two checkboxes mutually exclusive and it changed the tab order.

How did you make the checkboxes mutually exclusive .....by making then radioButtons and putting them in a group or did you add code to the Radio buttons to have the user only select one?

I put a script on the checkboxes.
if (this.rawValue == 1){
that.rawValue = 0;
}

I'm on Designer 8.1.1 and Acrobat 8.2.0, is this problem restricted to these earlier versions?

I do not know ....I have never heard of scripting affecting the tab order unless it is explicitly done so in the script.

Having worked with Designer from version 6 through version 8.1 I can tell you that it does indeed happen. I'm working on a pc using 64-bit win XP. Do you have any advice on what could be causing this or how I might be able to straighten it out?

I also have been using it since before version 6 and I have never seen this issue. I suggest that you open an incident with support
and get it looked at because adding script shoudl not affect the tabbing order in a form (unless the changes affect the hierarchy of the form or the script affects the tabbing order directly).

What OS are you working off of? I can put together a clean install on a test machine tomorrow and see if it goes away. If it's just something goofy with my pc I can wipe it and start fresh.

I am currently on a Win7 64 bit machine, but I have used XP, 2003 server, and just about every version of Windows out there.

Ok, I'll try it on a fresh install on a test machine, if the issue persists I'll put in an incident report. Thanks Paul.
