Tab Key vs Field

Hi Bob,
Hope you're doing well.

Sometimes developers want the field to 'eat' the tab and advance the
cursor to the next tabstop in the same field. This is why sometimes
the tab doesn't advance to the next field when the cursor is inserted.
Check your tabstops for your fields. If they are not empty, then
that's your problem.

Also, you might want to check and see if your fields are within
overlapping groups. I seem to remember a bug involving autotabbing and
overlapping groups-- though it may have been fixed.

best,
Chipp
