Does anyone know how to enter data in the following form in the
order of field1, field2, field3, field4 rather than
field1, field3, field2, field4?  Thanks!

__________________________________ 

     field1      field3
     field2      field4

Use the Data Entry Toolkit. You can control data entry as precisely as you
desire ... right down to individual keystrokes.

Requires a little PAL to translate the Enter and Down and Up and
Left and Right keys.  Nested wait loops (wait until F2 outside,
wait until cursor keys inside), with logic after the inner loop to
do a KEYPRESS translation would probably do it.
