This problem doesn't occur if I mouse click past the second field, and this allows me to see what is in the first field just fine. Is there any way that I can change this so that I can use tabs for this part of my database? Thanks

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but you could simply remove both fields from the tab order.

Also try setting the "unwanted" field's "feild format" options to not allow entry to the field.
