    Default Tab Order on a Form

    I would like to "tab" to a field twice on a form, once at the beginning and
    then later on during the data entry
    process.

    Currently I have the field set up to be the first "tab stop" on the form,
    but cannot see how to get it to also be the 20th stop.

    I checked out the properties on the field and tried to enter two tab stops
    in the "Tab Index" field, like "0,20" with no success. Some help with this
    would be much appreciated.
