Microsoft Access Tab Stop, Tab Order, Cycle Records on a Form

In this video, I will show you how to change the Tab Order of the fields in your form, remove fields from being Tab Stops and show you how to change the record Cycle from "next record" to "current record." This will allow you to not have the form open to text that can be accidentally typed over.

Eddy from The Netherlands (customer since 2011) asks, "I cannot find the way to deselect text inside the first field of the record on opening a form. How do I do this?"

I'll show you how to put the cursor at the end of a field when you tab to it (useful if you want to tab to a Notes field and add to the end) or select the first word of text (useful for automatically selected a first name in a field with multiple names).
