I have the tab order set up in my custom form to move from top to bottom. I
used Layout | Tab Order with the following order:

To:
Employee Name:
Manager Name:
Officier Name:
Memo (field)
L_Employee Name: (a label)
L_Manager Name: (a label)
L_Officier Name: (a label)

In the Advanced Properties they are ordered with:

To: as a tab stop true and 0
Employee Name: as tab stop ture and 1
Manager Name: as tab stop ture and 2
Officier Name: as tab stop ture and 3
Memo (field) as tab stop ture and 4
L_Employee Name: (a label) as tab stop false 5
L_Manager Name: (a label) as tab stop false 6
L_Officier Name: (a label) as tab stop false 7

Everything works great UNLESS someone attaches a document/file as the first
step in completing the form. Then when the usere returns to the To: field,
the tab order goes to the toolbar then down to the Memo field. Why doesn't
it go in the the Tab Order specified?

Why? I think it's because there's some special behavior involved with the
memo field that form designes just have to live with.
