Default How do I control the Tab function in a form?

I have created a form from one table. I placed the various fields on the form
that made data entry easy. The field placement is different than how they
appear in the table. I want to be able to tab left to right on the form and
then down to the next row. Currently tab hops all over the form. I am not a
programmer, so I have not created any code.

With the form in design view right-click on the small gray square in the upper
left and choose Tab Order from the list of options.

When you are in the form in design mode, go to View - tab order. There you
can select the fields and drag and drop them in the order you want.

Thank you so much - it took me hours of hunting in all the wrong places.
