There are several ways that you can change how your data entry form behaves at print-time, including the order in which multiple forms are displayed, whether or not a form is displayed at all, and the tab order of the controls on the each form.

• Changing Display Order for Multiple Forms

  By default, data entry forms are displayed in the order in which their tabs appear at the bottom of the design area. However, this order can be changed using a simple drag-and-drop procedure.

• Creating a Conditional Form

  Using a form's Selected Control property page, you can define the conditions that will determine whether or not a form will be displayed for user input. The conditions can be based on a database record, or even user-input data that was provided on a previous form during the print job.

• Setting Tab Order of Controls

  One way to make your data entry form more usable is to organize the order in which a user can tab through the data entry controls. The Tab Order property page provides several options to meet your needs.
