I can, but every field that is editable increases the number of fields  
to tab through.

Please have a look at Scott's original email.

You guys will have to sort this out amongst yourselves and let me know  
what conclusion you all come to.

It's not just that - but each contester has a different preferences.  
Please consult with Scott and the others and let me know what you all  
agree on.

redoing it constantly.
