I submitted this question about 3 hours ago but it never showed up....sorry if this appears as a duplicate later.
 
Form created using Adobe Designer has radio buttons because person is allowed to choose only one option, but I cannot set the tab order within the section of buttons. You can tab to the first radio button but when you hit the tab key again, it takes you to the next section of the form. You must use the mouse to click on the desired radio button you want if you want something other than the first choice.

I did not mean to imply I expected an immediate response. This is the first time I've used this site and thought that I had done something incorrectly and didn't post my question. I simply wanted whoever monitors the site to know why the duplicate appeared 3 hours later.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and obviously a better new year than you are having this year! And I appreciate you taking your time to answer this question.

Although Acrobat does not let you tab within the radio group, how can you set which radio button will be the default for when you tab to the group?

After an hour of going crazy recreating the radio buttons in different sequences, I found out what the problem was. I clicked on the radio button that I wanted to be the default and moved it up with the arrow buttons. This allowed me to tab to the correct button. I hope this helps others. I would have fixed this an hour ago if I would have found the answer.

Take care!
