Hi,

One option would be to replace the ten individual fields and replace them with a single field. When you select a field you can go to the Object > Field palette and set it to combed. This will create the look of a standard combed field and space the alphanumeric characters evenly.

This would mean that the user tabs into the field, input the data and then tab to the next one.

In relation to the tab order, LC Designer has a Tab palette. Here the tab order will be set to automatic, by default. This is my preferred setting. However you can also set a custom tabe order, however this can go out of sync when you add new fields.

There is an example here that looks at tabbing order: http://assure.ly/gBUUXB.

The important thing to bear in mind is that the automatic tabbing order is influenced by the x/y coordinates of objects and objects that are grouped in subforms.

Hope that helps,

Niall
