I have a custom form in Word 2003. When tabbing through the fields after
one combo it then tabs to the design toolbox and displays it then goes to
the next field. Is there a way to prevent this?

It sounds as if there's a macro attached to the combo that's not able to
execute, and is throwing the document into Design mode (which won't allow
any code to execute). The behavior you describe isn't something I've ever
seen before; usually, if there's a problem the document will open already
in Design mode...
Check the macro code attached to the Combo box and make sure you comment
out any lines that contain
On Error GoTo Next
This will allow error messages to display so that you can track down the
problem.

Only code was on the change event for the combo. Commented it out and
still does same thing, if you tab out of the combo the toolbox is shown.
Not a clue as to why.

Also there are no errors and the only thing that displays is the toolbox,
nothing else like the code editor.
