The fields are probably really there, they're just not where you expect them to 
be.  Probably behind the region.  If you choose Layout > Toolbars and check 
Object List, you'll get a list of all the objects on the form.  You can sort by 
clicking on the headers.  Click on one of your fields and press F11.  That will 
bring up the properties of the field.  If you've selected the 'real' field, the 
one actually in your region, you'll be able to see that it's selected on the 
region.  If you've selected one of the other ones, change the top and left 
coordinates to something like 1 and 1, then the field will move to the upper 
left of your form where you can delete it.

This is a problem caused by a lazy programmer.  I had fields on my form and 
thought there may be some way of copying and pasting them into my scrolling 
region.  I tried it twice with one of the fields, but it didn't seem to work.  
So I did it the correct way. 
 
Then after setting it up the whole form, I looked at the tabbing order of my 
scrolling region, and that one field was listed 3 times.  It is only in my 
region once though and no where else on the form.  I deleted the field, and the 
other two instances are still in the tabbing order.  
 
Next try: I defined an expression for that field, so I could delete it, and 
then say yes to the question of deleting any occurances on my form.  No luck, 
they're still in my tabbing order. 
 
Any ideas of how to fix this, short of starting over?
Thanks,
Patti
