Razzak, please could you explain, perhaps in one of your excellent "from the edge" articles, what the preferred order is for all items on a form?
For instance, should all text object come first, or should they follow the "logical" cursor sequence, or should they all come last? Or does it not matter for text objects? Should buttons and their ilk do the same sort of thing? How should fields and their associated variables be grouped? Should you skip from, say, page 2 to the last past before returning to page 1? ie, always go "forward". It would be really nice to have a definitive document for this as there obviously seems to be some confusion and/or problems when it's not "right". Many thanks & regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.
