Form Responses & Proper Tab Order

For those of you who have tried to use a For...Next statement to dump form responses to a database or email, you've probably noticed that the fields display in a rather random order - and its rather annoying! Well, I huffed and puffed over this for awhile and just gave up and called each field explicitly when I needed everything to appear in the original order. That is, until I began corresponding with a fellow ASP enthusiast who asked me how to get around this problem.

The answer was so amazingly simple I wondered why I hadn't thought of this myself. But, alas, I didn't. I guess ignorance is *not* bliss! ;) Before I reveal the secret of maintaining tab order in a form response, give this form a whirl and watch what happens.

Record 1 Record 2 Record 3 Record 4 Record 5 Record 6 Record 7 Record 8 Record 9 Record 10
