Focus on next field

[Bob Sneidar]

In the application browser change the order of the fields/groups. This will become the natural tab order. I usually group labels and fields together in groups and name the groups accordingly, so I reorder my groups. I typically have all the fields/groups at the top of the order, then data grids, then buttons. Makes it easier to navigate complex forms.
