I’ve created an application that on the form contains a table with fields on the left half and the user requested some “tools” (ie. url links) be displayed on the right half of the table. When the document is created and they tab through the first few fields, the cursor then tabs through all of the links before continuing to the remaining fields lower than those links on the document. I’ve used “position in tab order” on all of the fields but this doesn’t prevent the tabbing through the links. Can this be prevented without having to move the links to the bottom of the form?
Subject: Tabbing through a new document.
There are a couple of options available to you.
-
If the user never actually needs to edit the links, make the fields computed or computed for display and then they will never receive focus.
-
If they do need to be able to edit the links, then use a formula in the “Input Enabled” to turn them on and off at the appropriate times.

These links are not fields. (Not sure how I could make them fields). They are Hotspot links on the Form so the user filling out the form has the tools available.
