In Layout view, this kind of arrangement can be achieved only if you remove the default
layout, which constrains the controls in columns.

Tip If you rearrange controls or add new controls to a form and then find that pressing
Tab jumps around erratically instead of sequentially from one control to the next, you
can change the tab order. When working in Layout view, you click the Other tab in the
Property Sheet and set the Tab Index property for each control in the tab order you
want. When working in Design view, you click the Tab Order button in the Tools group
on the Design tab to display the Tab Order dialog box, where you can drag fields into
the correct order.


  1. Close the Customers form, clicking Yes when prompted to save its layout.
