If you build your form in a table structure then it will automatically Tab down the form.
There is also a Tab Order action that allows you to specify the Tab Order - not sure if it works in 7. Are you using 7?
Don’t see it on Paul’s site at actionsworld.com hut if you need a copy I am sure we can find you one.
But if you build your fields into a Table it will Tab correctly.

I work with Pro 6
If I activate the tab order action, I can’t see any difference in the window. What should it do? How should I manage it?

Have you tried building your form in a table first? Can we see it online?

You can apply the Tab Order action to each field in your Form and assign a Tab Order # to that field.
So if your Form didn’t Tab correctly then you may only need to apply the action to items that came out of sequence.
But if your Form is constructed from individual fields scattered about the page you may need to apply the action to each one.
However if you build your Form in a Table Structure to begin with then it will all hold together and Tab logically.

Although I don’t use Freeway or tables to make my webforms, I believe you
can simply extend your input item with the “tabindex” attribute and the
corresponding numerical value.
Select the input item, then menu Item > Extended… choose the input tab at
the top of the Extended Item window, click for a new attribute, name =
tabindex, value = 1 (or 2, 3, etc)
This should simply just work.

I applied a table to the site. Then I filled the cells with textfields, checkboxes and menues.
It works fine, but unfortunately in an unproriate tab-sequence.

But logical sequence.
If your table had stretched downwards the tab order would be correct.

Which is exactly what the Tab Order action does!
