3. Click OK.
4. If you omitted fields, click Omit in the alert message.
Keep these points in mind:
1 A blank arrow indicates a field omitted from the tab order.
1 You can tab into a field that’s formatted as radio buttons (option
buttons) and checkboxes, and use the keyboard to make a selection.
See “Entering data from a value list” on page 4-9.
1 You can tab into repetitions of repeating fields from left to right or top
to bottom. (For example, create a tab order that selects the first
repetition for all fields before it selects the second repetition.) Start
setting the tab order with the topmost or leftmost repeating field. When
you create a tab order, the arrow blinks as you select the rest of the
fields for the tab order and stops when you return to the first repeating
field selected. FileMaker Pro completes the tab order for the repeating
fields based on your previous selections.
To enter all the values in a single repeating field before you tab into any
other field, double-click the field’s arrow.
Remove numbers from all
arrows and set a new tab order
In the Set Tab Order dialog box, click Create new tab
order. In the layout, click the arrows in the order
you want.
Omit fields from the tab order
As you set a new tab order, don’t click arrows for fields
to omit. For fields that already display a number, select
the number, and then press Backspace.
