Any thought on aligning tabs to go to the direct next box? I tab a lot and hardly use my mouse. I just noticed that I might be f'ing things up by tabbing. I'm editing the second description line on a monster's description and tabbed to the next line, started typing, and thought my tab just went to never-never-land. I get to the next page, the drops, and the first one is changed to what I typed. I wonder how many other times I've tabbed to another page and not noticed it :)



No biggie, I'm using my mouse, just for future reference if you run out of things to do (yeah, right).

yeah i gotta fix the tab orders. at one point i tried to take the time to fix it but it's just such a pain to do. i either have to manually click on each and every control and type in the number for the order in which i want it to come. the other option is to make startup code that sets the order, but then i gotta have 500 lines of code saying "textbox1.taborder = 1" ... "textbox2.taborder = 2" ... "combobox1.taborder = 3", etc. though, i think i finally found a free add-in program that may let me set the tab order easier.

Awesome. No hurry, little things like that aren't something that stops production. Just bringing it to the attention. I got used to using the mouse again, I'm just using the number row instead of the number pad.
