Cut And Paste Code In VB Express Without Generating Errors?

I've deleted the original code, but to be specific, when I developed a form using Buttons and Textboxes I didn't place them in any specific order. The result was that as the user clicks the cursor, it would bounce around the page in what would appear to be a random sequence, but in fact was going to the next button/box in order of how it appeared in the code section of the form. Naturally, my first inclination was ..... OK, that's how it's going to be, I'll just cut and paste the code in the order of how I want the cursor to move. What happened was I generated several errors and the file would not compile. I can find no information on how to properly cut/paste code sections without generating these types of errors. BTW, I did try the focus() function and it did direct the cursor to the appropriate box, but it also only allowed 1 character to be entered in the textbox and summarily directed the cursor to the next box.
