How do you change the tab order of controls in a form?

To change the tab order of controls in a form, utilizing the 'Tab Order' button in the Tools group is the correct approach. The 'Tab Order' dialog allows you to view and rearrange the order in which users navigate through the controls on a form using the Tab key. This is particularly important for creating a user-friendly interface, as it determines the sequence of focus and interaction.

Selecting the 'Tab Order' option provides an intuitive interface where you can simply drag controls to rearrange them according to your desired navigation flow, ensuring a smoother experience for users. This method is efficient and straightforward, making it clear how and why the controls will be accessed in a particular sequence during form use.

Other methods, such as manually editing properties or trying to use the drag and drop method outside the context of the 'Tab Order' function, may not provide the necessary structure for setting tab sequences, while the 'Arrange' menu option does not specifically address tab order adjustments.
