Thread: adding an editbox to a form already made

i have a form made already. it has 26 editboxes, numbered 1 through 26. i need to add a email editbox and when i do this it comes out editbox 27, but i need to put this next to edit box 7. i want the tab to follow the flow and not jump over the email field. what do i have to do to achieve this?
thanks as usual.

point to the fields > click right > and click Move To Front starting from top fields.

You will have to insert the new edit box field & re-number the fields from 7 to 27 via each individual edit fields properties area "tab index". So enter 7 in this box for your new edit box & so on for every edit box after this.

Or, as WS said:

1. Insert the new editobox.

2. Please it where you need it to be.

3. Starting from the first one and repeating for all fields, from the first to the last, Right Click each field and select Move to Front.

This will set both the tab order and the fields order in the code correctly.

thanks a bunch
