Sounds like a little UI trickery is needed - if you can figure out the last field to change when you hit tab in the operation field, then add an after change event on that control to call the focus() method on the labor qty control

I am looking for a document for setting the tab order on the UI. This would be a personalization as some of my users need the way they move through the UI customized so that when they hit the tab key it moves between the fields that they use and skips all the rest.

The tab order is set in the Customization screen, and can only be set within a given group. For instance, on the Part Maintenance screen, there is the large group on the left beginning with the Part Number, and then there are all the other little groups as well. Once you tab out of that first group, it will go to the next group in order, and when it comes back to that first group it will start again at the first item in that group.

It appears more logical than it sounds... but the thrust is that you can't tab between groups and then return.

Ernie is right. I tried playing with tab order and quickly released that I just needed to rebuild the whole thing. I wanted FIELD A in group 1, then FIELD A in group 2 then FIELD B in group 1. It won't do it.

Ok so I almost have the tabs the way that the user would like them. BUT here is my problem.
When setting tab orders on the Detail page under Time and Expense Entry>Daily Time>Detail>Detail
I have set the tab order in the following manner

These are all in the Job group
1>Job------------tab stop=true
2>Assembly----tab stop=true
3>Operation---tab stop=true
4>Labor Qty----tab stop=true

These are in the Labor group
5>Clock In------tab stop=true
6>Clock Out----tab stop=true

This is in the Location group
7>Resource---tab stop-true

The problem is between the Operation field and the Labor Qty field. There are 2 ways that you can enter Operation. One is by typing in the code and the other is by selecting the code from the drop down. The user wants to type in the code and then the user would like to hit tab and end up in the Labor Qty field. When the user types the code in it skips the Labor Qty field and ends up in the Clock In field. When the user selects the Operation code from the drop down and hits tab it goes to Labor Qty like it is supposed to.
Side note: When tab is hit after the operation is entered it auto populates the Resource Group, Department, Operation, and Resource and then ends up in the Clock In field.
