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?

Could you please provide more information?

Is the form created only with fields from the Controls Toolbox, or mixed
with form fields?

Is forms protection activated?

Does this happen with any ComboBox, or with all ComboBoxes?

By "tabs to the design toolbox" do you mean it displays the Controls
Toolbox toolbar? Or do you mean something else - please be specific. Is the
"Design" button then activated, in this case (but wasn't before)?
