Now I have my form pretty much how I want it, how do I change the order in
which the fields (top to bottom) are printed. I have the form laid out in
order, tab order is right but when I print it, it isn't how I laid it out.

If you are not using XPrint to do a WYSIWYG print of the form, then you have
to use Word to do your printing. In code, you create a new word document,
attach the template you have created, transfer the field data, then print it
in the foreground, finally close the word document, and then the Outlook
item. I am sure that if you search www.slipstick.com you will find code to
set-up all this.

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customprint.htm for various solutions to
the limitation that Outlook forms don't support WYSIWYG printing. The Word
template technique is the most flexible and highly recommended.
