Thanks chip. The form is not protected. So that would explain. I will have to
ask my sighted colleagues what they do. I have just been going into the
properties and changing the default to checked on the one I want.

It sounds like you have a form, which has become "unprotected". when a form is
unprotected, then it's just a normal document, and the controls are not
functional.
you'll need to turn on the forms toolbar, and then find the button in this
toolbar named "protect", and press it if it isn't pressed. that turns back on
forms protection. this will make all the controls active again, and jaws will
be able to tab between them.
